Core Sounds for Building a Hip Hop Beat

The kit centers on the sounds that form the foundation of a drum arrangement. Kicks can provide the main rhythmic foundation, while snares and claps give you different options for establishing the primary accents of a pattern.

For additional movement, the pack includes percussion sounds that can be placed around the main drum hits. These can help fill spaces in a pattern or introduce extra rhythmic elements without changing the basic structure of the beat.

Working With the Chopped Material

The chopped nature of the samples makes them useful for producers who like to shape their own arrangements rather than simply dropping a complete pattern into a project. Individual sounds can be sequenced into new combinations, while the included loopz provide another starting point for developing a track.

One approach is to establish a kick and snare pattern first, then use percussion to add variation. From there, a loop can become a starting point for a section of the arrangement or be treated as material to manipulate within the beat.
