Q: how do you read drum notation, help
A: it's just rhythms, and the instruments should be labeled. if not, then it might be for drum kit (drum set) in which case the X's near the top of the staff are cymbals, the regular noteheads near the bottom of the staff should be the kick, and the snare is probably a regular notehead on the upper middle space. the rest of the mid staff (with regular noteheads) should usually be toms. if you see + and o above the hh, that means closed or open. But these things should be labeled at the beginning of the chart, because not all of this is standardized
