floretan commentedJust like guitar tabs, drum tabs displayed using fixed-width fonts have two problems:
1) They're not very readable.
2) They're tedious to write.
The first problem could be solved by generating prettier images using the gd library, which is relatively easy. The second problem is a lot trickier, because you need to find a markup for the data that is simple (otherwise you would just keep typing your fixed-width tabs) yet powerful enough to let you express anythings that you could with tabs. Looking at how other music applications (like lilypond) deal with the issue could give some helpful ideas.
