Next, we want to add a clap to the snare that’s not perfectly quantised onto the beat, so turn off Snap to Grid by clicking the magnet icon at the top right-hand corner of the display, and draw in a clap just after the snare, roughly one-quarter of a 16th note after the second beat. This adds character to our snare, but we don’t want it super loud, so turn its Velocity down to 85. Then layer this with the small tom sound, which in this kit actually plays a metallic hi-hat sound.
First, add a snare on the second beat, and turn its Velocity up to the maximum 127 to make it as loud as possible. You can double-click in the MIDI Editor to add notes, or select the Add Note (pen) tool and draw them in. Double-click the clip to bring up the MIDI Editor. Right-click on the instrument track and select Creation Region to make a MIDI clip, then use the handle at the bottom right-hand corner to drag it to one bar in length. In the Instrument selection menu select Drums > Drum Pads > Boom Bap Classic. Let’s begin by setting the project tempo to 95BPM, and creating a new instrument track.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can create a boom bap beat in BandLab, a free online digital audio workstation that allows you to share your beats with friends anywhere in the world. Other notable boom bap producers include Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest and the late, great J Dilla who produced countless hip-hop classics including The Pharcyde’s ‘“ Drop”.īoom bap beats typically feature a relatively laid-back tempo in the 90BPMs, solid kicks, crusty hi-hats, and characterful, organic-sounding snares. In the 90s hip-hop evolved to a more sample-based sound, with the E-mu SP-1200 and Akai MPC60 becoming the favoured tools of producers such as DJ Premier from Gangstarr, Havoc from Mobb Deep, Pete Rock, and Marley Marl. The boom bap sound can be traced back to 80s tracks such as “ It’s Yours” by T La Rock and “ I Can’t Live Without My Radio” by LL Cool J (both produced by Def Jam’s Rick Rubin and Jazzy Jay), and during this era, the Oberheim DMX drum machine was often used to create the upfront, mix-dominating beats. Regarded by many as the pinnacle of hip-hop, ‘boom bap’ is an onomatopoeic reference to the prominent kick and snare sounds of ‘golden age’ New York City hip-hop.
