   is it possible to create a "z" stem for buzz rolls?

Maybe esmuflily <http://www.ekmelic-music.org/en/extra/esmuflily.htm> is useful for you. The following requires no extra font and achieves horizontal beams in two ways: manual beams and an empty tremolo symbol on the first two notes:

% -----------------------------------------------

\version "2.24.0"
\include "esmufl.ily"

buzz = \markup \sans \bold "z"

\drums {
  \ekmSmuflOn #'tremolo

  sn16^"R" 16^"l"
  \ekmTremolo \buzz { 16:32^"r"[ 16:32^"l"] }

  \ekmTremolo \markup "" { sn16:32^"R" 16:32^"l" }
  \ekmTremolo \buzz { 16:32^"r" 16:32^"l" }
}

% -----------------------------------------------

or with a SMuFL compliant font like Bravura or Ekmelos:

% -----------------------------------------------

\version "2.24.0"

ekmelicFont = "Bravura"
\include "esmufl.ily"

\drums {
  \ekmSmuflOn #'tremolo

  \ekmTremolo \markup "" { sn16:32^"R" 16:32^"l" }
  \ekmTremolo buzzroll { 16:32^"r" 16:32^"l" }
}

% -----------------------------------------------
