Musescore Tenor Drum Crossover Help
So I'm trying to change one of the note heads on the tenor drums to a hollow note, but the drag and drop method doesn't seem to work and I'm not really sure what else to do. I've seen people say "change it to a half note" but that doesn't solve the situation at all.
Hopefully someone knows how to help.

Percussion is handled specially, to automate assigning different noteheads to different sounds. To customzie the notehead use for a particular sound, use the Edit Drumset button in the drum palette.

There's only one though drum palette - the one you enter drum notes from at the bottom of the main window while in note input mode. The Edit Button is there at the left side of the palette. You can also get to Edit Drumset by right-clicking the staff. For more info, see the Handbook under Drum notation.

this really only works to change the notehead for every instance of the voice. what i (as well as op, i'm assuming) am looking for is a way to change a specific note's head

Please attach a sample score and point out which "specific note's head" you wish to change and to what head type.

for example i want to change only the head of the 32nd note on beat 3 of measure 1 to hollow instead of black. the note in question is played on drum 2. when i use the method of going to edit drumset and changing the notehead, every single note on drum 2 turns hollow instead of just the one i wanted.

The question is, why do you want to change the notehead? If it's to indicate to the player to make a different sound, you need to go to Edit / Drumset and add this as a new note, as I said. What is the different sound you are trying to indicate? Do you know its MIDI pitch number? Once you know that , then you can define a new note for that pitch, give it the head you want. Then add that note - actually change the pitch of the current note. The assigned head and the correct playback sound will then happen automatically. And again, no other notes will be affected at all.

It's to indicate a crossover. Not to change any sound. Just changing how the player would play it.

Ah. MuseScore doesn't directly support multiple displays for the same sound, but if you have a soundfont that provides the same sound at different pitches, then the same method applies.

Presumably the reason you want to change the head is because you want a different sound for it. Edit Drumset is absolutely the way to do that - that's where you create a new note by selecting which sound you want and which head you want for it. Then simply apply that new note to your score. Nothing else will be changed at all.
