Not at all, just make sure to tell LilyPond that you want the drums and
the chords to happen in parallel:

\score {
<<
\drumNotes
\chordline
>>
\layout {}
}

Also, you may want to change 20 to 40 in
beat = \drummode { \stemUp
\repeat unfold 20 {
  hh4 hh hh hh
}
}

to get the same number of bars in both parts.
