Boom Bap Beat Maker
Boom bap-style beats are head-nodding and jazzy: a swung groove, a snare that cracks on 2 and 4, and chords with a little extra color. This template loads that classic feel.
How to make a boom bap beat
Boom bap type beats sit around 85–95 BPM with a swung pocket. The kick and snare do the talking — syncopate the kick, keep the snare on 2 and 4, and let a jazzy chord line float on top.
This template starts at 92 BPM in C minor, with the chord progression Cm9 – Fm7 – Abmaj7 – G7. Every note on the grid is editable — move the drums, change the 808 notes, or rewrite the melody, and the beat becomes yours.
