EXTRA drum sounds!
I don't think this was intended to be in Scratch. The info on the drums says that they range from 35 to 81, but they actually range from 27 to 87! 
EXTRA DRUMS:
27 - laser
28 - balloon pop
29 - low guitar fret noise*
30 - high guitar fret noise*
31 - soft tap
32 - dull tap
33 - loud tap
34 - ding-tap
82 - maraca shake
83 - jingle bell
84 - similar to jingle bell, but descending pitch
85 - different tap
86 - short bass drum**
87 - long bass drum**
* 29-30 are the same as some of the "guitar fret" noises (instrument #121)
** 86-87 may be the same as "taiko drum" (instrument #117)
The drum sounds outside of this range (27-87) are inaudible.
These are also accessible in general MIDI music, but they are unintended. They can be accessed in Finale by changing a normal instrument's channel to 10. This will allow the extra sounds.

Re: EXTRA drum sounds!
According to my MIDI player, the sounds' names actually are:
27 - High Q
28 - Slap
29 - Scratch Push
30 - Scratch Pull
31 - Sticks
32 - Square Click
33 - Metronome Click
34 - Metronome Bell
82 - Shaker
83 - Jingle Bell
84 - Bell Tree
85 - Castinets
86 - Mute Surdo
87 - Open Surdo
Many of those kinda sound like what you described them though. These drums are not standard in all MIDI systems - which is probably why they're not listed. They're still kinda common though.

What the heck is a Q?!
Also, what MIDI player do you mean?
