Lilypond for drums

Hi there,

I am brand new to Lilypond (and drum notation in particular). My daugther is taking drumlessons, and I want to print what she does in a nice formatted way. So I think Lilypond could be it.

I was able to wite down her first lessons but I would like to see a big part and how it is formatted. Does anyone has an big drum transcription in .ly format as an example, preferably from some well know piece of music (so I can relate to that).

Thanks in advance. BTW, this is what I did for her three exercises (just beginning ;-). Is this maybe rewritable to shorthand in some case? Maybe with repeats or so? Any help wouyld be appreciated.

\version "2.11.58"

\header {

title = "Drum Excersises Robin"

subtitle = "week 40 - 2009"

}

up = \drummode {

\voiceOne
