As I said before, change the notation style to Standard, so you're not using 
a map, and use a normal bass clef.  Then you'll be able to enter notes on 
the staff in their positions according to their MIDI numbers.  Note 38 is 
D2, which is the D space below the bass clef staff.

Once you've entered all the notes on your drum staff the sounds will be 
correct but the staff positions all wrong.  This is where the map comes in. 
Turn the Percussion style back on and play around with your map to move the 
notes to the staff positions you want.
