it'd be no different than writing sheet music for a drum kit, except there'd be words under the notes. You could even pick up Damaja's 'implied melody' argument using Wwesdtern notation.

Imho the real problem comes in using notation for scratching, sampling, etc. in such a way that someone could replicate a beat with teh same tols with which the beat was made by looking at the sheet music.
