Now that it is possible to reproduce the Single Line staves often used for drum notation, I expect that there will be many queries regarding transposition to reach the correct note for the instrument!
The default line for BASS clef is central D and for TREBLE is central B.
Here is my sugested guide:
Bass Clef Octave None, with note placed on center line D, no accidental:

| Electric_Snare | -10 |
| Low_Floor_Tom | -9 |

| High_Floor_Tom | -7 |
