The MIDI-files generated by Lilypond are just played via the GM-Standard Soundfont that comes with your operating system.
I suggest you to take a look at the file drumpitch-init.ly in usr\share\lilypond\current\ly of your Lilypond directory and analyze it until you understand what it does. Part of it is described here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Common-notation-for-percussion#Custom-percussion-staves I don't work with MIDI output but I believe if you make your custom drum-pitch tables you can alter the midi-drumpitch table accordingly, you'll just have to know which MIDI-representation each sound of your soundfont has and later make sure that your MIDI-file is played back using your djembé soundfont. I hope this was of some help.
