Hi Jef,
With drum set, not much is standardized, but a rimshot is often written a
slashed-circle notehead ("ΓΈ", but filled-in), while a cross-stick is usually an
"X" notehead (sometimes enclosed in a circle) on the snare drum space.
I don't know if there's a standard way of notating a two-stick rim shot --
those are comparatively unusual in rock or jazz.
Cheers,
- DJA
