Depends what appearance you want. Here I have used a simple stave (flute, but it doesn't matter) and done the following:

1] Place notes at top of stave
2] Move any rests up to the top
3] Using the Second Voice, enter crotchets (whole notes)
4] Turn the crotchets' noteheads into slashes and tick the "Stemless" box

The way I set up drum set in the Jazz Big Band template, it's reasonably easy to do this. I made "G" be the keyboard shortcut to enter a slash in voice 1 (the "time" part); you just have to remove the stems manually. The shortcut "F" enters a note in voice 3 - so stem up - just above the staff - this is how one can enter "kicks". If desired, you can also mark the voice 3 notes small.

(I responded on Facebook too)
