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.

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 to…

The parens don't quite line up with how triplets are usually notated. This effectively prevents you from ending the composition with a triplet that loops properly.

Crashes Firefox after trying about 20 different examples from this page, i.e. opening a tab, listening a bit, closing again, opening a new one.

Firefox 37.0.2 on Ubuntu 14.02 LTS 64 bit. Reproducible, crashed already 3 times.

I call this one "The Master". http://typedrummer.com/901ci8

And now I am humming the rest of the melody, and loading up Netflix. You have ruined my entire day of productivity. It is 10:17 am. Godspeed, you glorious bastard.

For those downvoting me, parent is a Doctor Who reference: the Master is a character on the show obsessed with that specific beat (which any further explanation would be spoilertastic).
