Take a look at input/test/drums.ly (or something, I haven't lily by the hand)

This is automatically handled by the scheme-scripts. If you wan't different
note heads than the defaults then it is quite easy to change. Take a look at
scm/drums.scm (or something like that) - it should be quite intuitive, afair.

instrument = "drums"
Notice that you have to create two scores - one for the paper and one for the
midi.
The examples show how this is done.

PM> 3. I have 2 voices in the score. if there are in the upper voice one

This is a well known problem. Mats explained the hacky solution, and there is
no nice way of doing it at the moment.
