The Play Drum () for () Beats block was a sound block and a stack block. The block played the specified instrument for the specified number of seconds using a MIDI percussion instrument.
The block, however, was replaced with the Play Drum () for () Beats block in Scratch 2.0, due to the lack of a MIDI synthesizer in Flash.[1]

Thus, for the Flash-based player, we had to create our own synthesizer and instrument/drum library. Currently, we have 15 instruments and 12 drums as opposed to the General MIDI collection of 128 instruments and 35-ish drums." ar-post:680190
