As typical for the genre we aimed for hard hitting kick drums and snappy snares. Although the idea behind “Old School” was to produce a drum kit specifically made for Boom Bap it can certainly also be used for styles like West Coast Old School or Lo-Fi Hip Hop.

Get To Work

In addition to the sample pack we want to share a few paragraphs on making Boom Bap beats. Just follow all of the steps below and you should get some decent results.

How To Make a Boom Bap Beat

Pick some cool drum samples
If you want to make a Boom Bap beat you need some fitting drum samples. Our free “Old School” sample pack should be enough to get you started.
Place a snare on every second quarter hit
Set the BPM of your project file around 80 BPM and place a MIDI note on every second quarter note. You can later on add variations or delay some of the hits.
Record the kick pattern
Boom Bap is a rather organic genre, so in order to avoid a robotic feel you should record the kick pattern with either a drum pad or MIDI keyboard.
Add a closed hat
Once you’re happy with the kick and snare pattern it’s time to record a closed hat. For an organic feel try to record it, too, rather than just drawing in the MIDI notes.
Adjust the levels
To get the volume levels of all individual tracks right compare your mix to some of your favorite Boom Bap beats. Adjust all levels until your mix sounds balanced.
Tweak until you’re satisfied
The snare isn’t punchy enough for your taste or the hi hat doesn’t flow right? Tweak everything until the beat is perfect!
