...which corresponds to 7.5 K max frequency, which I'll bet is not
nearly enough for realistic drum sounds.  heck, the fundamental
frequency of a tight snare drum is probably over 7.5K, what about all of
the overtones?  Forget it.
 
See if you can disable the audio filter, and then try samping at 24K,
which I think is the max for your digitizer.
