Unless I am mistaking what you are trying to do, the best approach
would be possibly to use a staff group, such that each '-----' in your
example is a system of music and then you can add an instrument name
(as you would normally) for each instance.

I don't use 'drumstaff' personally but I guess that your example would
just be three of those each with their own instrument name all held
together in a 'staff group'.

Does that make sense?
