Ghost notes are fun to play in marching percussion, but the way of notation can become quite confusing when boiling down what notes are precisely being played vs shown. Often times It would be notated as Flam taps but the ghost notes would notated between parenthesis.

In the image I've notated a bar of flam accents and the following bar I notated the notes which are played on the head on the C, and the ghost accent motion is notated as a slashed notes on the E

As a result it becomes tedious to isolate them in context of the sheet music, so I decided to notate them both side by side.

Hope this helps!
