Sure there is!

Here's an introduction to drum notation:

http://www.drums-and-drum-sets.com/drum-notation.php

And the Lilypond documentation has a nice overview of which "pitch" maps to
what drum in different notation styles:

When it comes to drums and MIDI you have a choice of drum maps (which note
maps to what drum) either standard GM drum map, the nifty MC505 map or some
custom map (because every drum kit is different and MIDI should be regarded
as "recorded performances" and not as "notation" -- although most maps is
usually compatible when it comes to basic kick, snare and hihat).
