Rule #1: never begin any question with "is it possible in LilyPond" :)

Of course it is. Have a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Percussion-sections

You might want to read
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Note-heads

However, as you can see in the previous section, several special
noteheads are already implemented by default in some percussion sets.

Cheers,
