As long as you use a DrumVoice context to typeset the percussion, the

In that case, something else is broken. I
ncluded is a snippet from 7.4.3 Percussion staves in the 2.10 manual (wrapped into a \score block)

%begin lilypond
\version "2.10.0"

\score {

    \new DrumStaff <<
       \new DrumVoice = "1" { s1 *2 }
       \new DrumVoice = "2" { s1 *2 }
       \drummode {

           { \repeat unfold 16 hh16 }
           \\
           { bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 }
         >>
       }

     \layout {}
     \midi {}

%end lilypond
