I'm a drumline guy so bear with me:

Okay, I'm not sure why you have both quad and quint toms - generally a tenor line will all have 4 or 5 drums. Plus, for quints, you still write in the spaces, not the lines, and the gock (tiny high pitched drum) sits on top of the staff. As for the snares, all those "X" notes indicate rim clicks, which I'm assuming you aren't intending. Oh, and the quads again - you can't hit all 4 drums at once, as per your final few bars there. And again with the snares, instead of 32nd notes beamed to 16th notes, unless you definitely want them all single-strokes, just make them all 16th notes and add a little slash (looks like /) to the first two to indicate double strokes - you'll hear the same pattern, but it's far easier and more logical to play.

And as everyone else has said - the battery parts are gratingly boring.
