So here's an interesting bit of musical notation that I thought relevant, as you've just shown off a game based around playing the Tambourine. There is in fact a fourth type of Clef, although it isn't really a Clef. The Percussion or Neutral Clef, which indicates that the instrument has no set pitch for the music, it can also have a varied amount of lines. It also isn't used for tuned percussion, for obvious reasons, which includes pianos funnily enough. Usually after the Percussion Clef there's a legend, which explains what each note means, however if you're just playing a Tambourine it will do something similar to what you showed in the video but only have a single line. So you'd have the percussion clef and a single line, with a legend explaining that a normal note is a slap on the side, and a cross note is a slap to the head of the tambourine. Just thought I'd share some stuff about percussion.

I actually hate tab notation to be honest. I learnt to play drums and percussion with a normal stave and tabs just confuse me. Partially because tab notation is a fairly modern thing and a lot of musical teaching is still based around classics. Admittedly I myself am primarily a tuned percussionist, which means I use the treble and bass clefs anyway, so maybe if I'd learnt some other percussion I'd like tab notation more. Drumset notation is actually pretty good on a stave to be honest, it has a standardised location for every part of a normal drumkit, so as long as the writer specifies any differences you can pretty easily read any beat off a sheet of music.
