The BTP supports resuming of interrupted downloads using the REST command. The drummer passes the number of breaks he has already received as argument to the REST command and restarts the transfer. In some drumline clients there is an often-ignored but valuable technique called "rehit" (meaning "strike again") that will cause an interrupted "hit" command to be continued, hopefully to completion, after a snaredrum interruption.

Wrong (Right Mix)

The objectives of BTP, as outlined by its RFC, are:

   1. To promote sharing of breaks (computer drums and/or acoustic drums).
   2. To encourage indirect or implicit use of remote drummers.
   3. To expose a listener to variations in drum styles in different genres.
   4. To transfer fills reliably, and efficiently.
