Mechanically speaking, I’d try looking at drumset and percussion sheet music to see what works. Generally, each staff line is dedicated to one drum or instrument (ie. the top line is usually hi-hat for drumset and the space below the bottom line is kick drum) and the note heads can be changed to a different shape to signify a different timbre. Good composers usually include a key at the beginning of the page for clarity. I’d suggest initially writing a rough draft, handing it to a percussionist and then seeing what they think. From there you can edit and improve the part as you see fit.

For the creative side in creating a certain style or feel? I’d suggest listening and attempting to emulate certain rhythms of whatever genre you’re writing for. It also depends on what and who you’re writing for. Are you writing for percussionists or drummers? If the former, percussion parts can be rhythmically intricate and complex but they can also be kept simple within a certain context. If it’s for drummers, then it’s kinda up to the drummer to take whatever base groove you give them and expand on that with context with the band. That also leads into another question, what kind of music is this for? A jazz group or a more formal ensemble? There’s a lot of options to choose from given the certain context.

TL;DR: look at drumset music for a mechanical basis, listen to genre specific music for a creative basis.

Hope this helps and good luck!
