Yes. What is the problem here?

Then you would have a problem. This scheme limits you to only use 5 
different heads.

It can also deal with drum staves with chords - as long as you use the 
scheme illustrated in input/test/drums.ly

Yes and that is why I don't like your idea of defining the drums purely 
as "position, note-head-style". Later moving i.e. the bass drum to 
another position would be very hard - the user is stuck with the drums 
layout that the composer has selected, and producing sensible midi 
output will be impossible because lilypond don't know which 
positions/heads that corresponds to which midi-drums.

I don't think that the drums solution will become more sophisticated 
than the one currently available - the only difference will be that it 
will be easier to use and that it will be possible to put drums and 
notes on the same staff.
