head room issues

I am using a lynx aurora with logic 8.0.2

I notice I run out of headroom quick when it states its +20db before clipping.

I am trying to record drums with neve style preamps which starts at 15db and if a bass drum is average -30 incoming level i shouldn't need to use a pad or have to be completely cranked all the down on the preamps gain. It seems like I am 10db out of wack in my metering and structure. My lynx level is set to analog and +4

Is something not set right on my lynx or the metering in logic? Anyone have this problem. I hope I am making sense this kind of talk is new to me.
