Do you want to do this temporarily for debugging purposes? If so, you
can use block comments.

\stopStaff
\hideNotes
\new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up}
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }

Angle brackets << >> indicate simultaneous music, while curly brackets
{ } indicate sequential music. To make the DrumVoices come after the
\stopStaff and \hideNotes, use curly brackets:
\new DrumStaff {

\hideNotes
<<
\new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up}
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
>>
}
