These are the orchestral drums at the back of the stage, not a trap kit. Timpani sheet music writes the rolls, and it writes a new pitch when the tuning change is clear. There is no backbeat snare and no hi-hat pattern in this part.
Playback shows where a roll gives way to the next pitch, which is the bar these parts usually lose in dictation.

Attacks and long rolls are the material, written for the concert stage rather than a drum kit.

A retune or a gliss is written when the new pitch is clear. A noisy swell with no definite note is not forced into a guess.

Snare backbeats and kick patterns belong on the drum page. Stay here for the tuned drums in the orchestra.
Use a moment where you can hear the pitch, not only the rumble.

Timpani is the preselected instrument here. The kit stays out unless it is actually in the cue and you add drums, or you switch to Auto.

Listen with playback. A pitch change belongs on the staff when the tuning is clear. Librarians usually take MusicXML; MIDI is there for a sequencer.
“Notes no longer needed a dictation round. Timpani sheet music already held the roll into the new tonic.”
“The pitch change was obvious on the record and missing from our sketch. The staff put the new note back.”
“The kit page would have gone looking for a hi-hat. This one stayed with drums that change pitch.”
The drum page is the kit: backbeat and kicks. This page is the tuned orchestral drum.
