Drill Beat Maker

Drill-style beats are dark and sliding: the 808 glides between notes, the snare hits on 2 and 4, and the melody stays sparse and minor. This template loads that starting point.

How to make a drill beat

Drill type beats run around 138–145 BPM. Keep the melody dark and simple, let the 808 slide, and put the kick on the off-beats so the groove bounces instead of marching.

This template starts at 142 BPM in C minor, with the chord progression Cm – Ab – Bb – Gm. Every note on the grid is editable — move the drums, change the 808 notes, or rewrite the melody, and the beat becomes yours.
