Hi Kevin,

in the light of
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4281#c2
you can do for 2.18.2:

\version "2.18.2"

\paper { ragged-right = ##f }

m =
  <<
    \new DrumStaff
      <<
       \new DrumVoice \drummode { \voiceOne hh4 hh hh r hh }
       \new DrumVoice = "dv" \drummode { \voiceTwo bd4 sn bd r sn }
      >>
    \new Lyrics
      \lyricsto "dv" { One Two Three Four  }
  >>

\score {
  \m
  \layout { }
}

\score {
  \m
  \midi {
    \context {
      \DrumVoice
      \alias Voice
    }
  }
}


Thanks David K.,
