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?

Yes, There is a standard notation.

A drum-stroke is represented by a solid note, a cymbal by an 'x'. The position on the stave represents the relative pitch of the drum to be played. (For tympani which are tuned, it would be the actual pitch.)

The use of flags to show note type indicates the relative time, so although each stroke is staccato, of indefinite length, its placing by time is shown. E.g., four strokes in a bar in 4/4 time would be represented by four crochets even though they not themselves of crochet length for the piece.

I don't know if rim-shots, cow-bells, wood blocks and the like have their own symbols but could be shown by annotation. Or left to the drummer's initiative based on experience and empathy with the music as a whole.

@ArishMell there are some charts that actually lack the drum chart. In our band that happens and the drummer just dies his thing!

@samueltyler2 It depends on the experience of the drummer, I suppose. I have seen printed music for various rock numbers, and they rarely indicate any drum parts unless a particular effect at some point is called for.
