Do drummers use sheet music?

I often wonder about this.
How would the score be represented?
Images of particular drums, cymbals?
What about when the drum stick hits the drum hoops?

What you are missing is what is called "ascent" symbols.

Yet please don't lessen the abilities of those, that do or don't read sheet music, no matter the instrument.

I have played the djembe without sheet music as well as classical guitar.
