Creator here— Thanks for checking it out everybody! I promise I'm collecting a list of all the great feature requests I've been seeing. There's a ton of awesome stuff happening in WebAudio right now. If you want more, check out http://audiocrawl.co

Ability to stack beats would be sweet!

This is really cool. Within about 30 seconds of playing around, I wished it had more scripting-like features (loops and blocks I can reference multiple times)

Oh my $deity! I sometimes play a bit with recording music and I always hate drum machine programming. If I could actually program it in some sort of programming language it would be so much nicer!

Seems like I've just got a new side project :)

Here's my best guess:

  a: click with a slight rattle, like rattan brushes
  b: closed hihat
  c: distored synth bass with rattle, like tambourine
  d: distored synth bass higher pitch and muted
  e: muted synth bass
  f: sizzle ride hit like crash
  g: maracas
  h: muted maracas
  i: afuche-cabasa
  j: synth snare
  k: deeper snare
  l: castanets
  m/n: tap on closed hihat - maybe striking the hardware?
  o: booming tonal bass
  p: half muted tonal bass
  q: muted bass
  r: very muted, blockish bass
  s: synth splash
  t: agogo bell
  u: guiro upstroke
  v: guiro downstroke
  w: tamborine
  x: snare
  y: synth snare
  z: concert bass
  non-alpha: rest
  (): beat = 1/3 - note: triplets will begin on the letter before the first open paren, it modifies the space before, not after, each note.

Small bug I found - the timing gets messed up whenever the typedrummer tab is running in the background

Not really a bug, Chrome heavily throttles timers in background tabs to save the user's juice. All you can really do is suspend the sequence until the tab returns to foreground.
