I highly recommend the following two resources when it comes to
percussion writing:
How to Write for Percussion by Sam Solomon (available on Amazon.com).
-> This book goes into detail about the different sounds of percussion
instruments, etc, but spends some time discussing how each should be
notated.
I also firmly believe that if everyone adopted Vaclav Nehlybel's
system for percussion notation, the world would be a better place.
Unfortunately I can't find where I found this resource (mine's a copy
with no attribution). If you can find it, though, it's great.
Thanks for the advice.
The book, How to Write for Percussion by Samuel Solomon is very
comprehensive and well written. I highly recommend it as a reference
and resource to lilyponders. One caveat: it is almost exclusively about
notation and has very little about composing for percussion.
