Even for traps, I see no need for special noteheads since 11 different instruments can be represented on one 5-line staff without leger lines or any two instruments sharing any line or space. With one ledger line, the number increases to 15.My experience is that most drummers find the jazz/pop convention of regular noteheads for the drums and X-noteheads for the cymbals much easier to read than regular noteheads for the entire kit. This is especially true when representing a hihat stomp -- which would normally be notated with an X-notehead at the bottom of the staff. Without the use of X-noteheads, this can be easily confused with bass drum notation (especially since the exact placement of drum kit elements on the staff is not fully standardized).
