I don't think that the browser could ever work as an accurate drum machine because each drum beat is going to start a new sound stream and there is just too much delay involved. A desktop implementation has the luxuary of starting a bit stream and then simply mixing in the drum snippets at their correct bit position in the stream which means that the timing is as accurate as the sound card can render it.
