Uh, one just takes your example and adds the indicated line(s).

\version "2.18.2"

#(define mydrums '(
         (bassdrum        default   #f           -1)
         (slap                 default   #f          0)))

drumPitchNames.slap = #'slap

one = \drummode {  bd  slap  }

\new DrumStaff
  \with {
      \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #3
     }
   <<
  \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)

  \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \one }
>>

works just fine.

Uh, you did already?

Uh, is there _anything_ actually unclear or do you just want me to do
all the work?
