Every entry in your new list consists of the name, note-head,
use-which-script-sign? and staff-position.

I'm not sure what you want with the "x-slap". Below I've set the
NoteHead to cross and additional I've used some crazy script-signs to
demonstrate. I'm sure you'll want to alter them. :)
You could have a look in /ly/drumpitch-init.ly and in /scm/script.scm
for more info about the code.
\version "2.16.1"
#(define mydrums '(
(bassdrum cross "coda" -3)
(snare cross "upbow" 0)
(hihat cross "espressivo" 1)
(lowtom cross "reverseturn" 3)))
dr = \drummode { bd4 sn hh toml }
\new DrumStaff <<
\set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)
\new DrumVoice \dr
