The \with block makes those changes specific to that particular 
DrumStaff, so you should not see any issues with other staves.

Also, the new drum pitch names in my example, taikolefthand and 
taikorighthand, along with their handy abbreviations, tlh and trh, are 
only valid within \drummode.  Normal note pitch names are a different 
thing, so there should be no worry about the two interfering.
