Notes with no pitch: music21’s note.Unpitched and
percussion.PercussionChord.
A drum stroke is written on a staff line without sounding that line’s pitch. What it keeps is where it is displayed – a step and an octave, read as if the staff were in treble clef – and everything a written note has besides a pitch: a length, a stem, a notehead, beams.
