Below you’ll find the beat we’re intending to create. Note the common concepts — fat, spacious kick, rolling hi-hat cymbals, and snappy clap and snare — that you’ll find in most trap music. Our goal is to get you closer to making something in this style, with fully-fledged production techniques that actually get you there.

What makes a trap beat a trap beat?
Now I hear this term everywhere now. I only have heard about it in 2015 and I've been extremely involved in hip hop my whole life. I feel like everyone used that term all of the sudden..
Now I always knew about electronic trap music in the UK, grime, and occasionally from people down south. Now I think everyone uses that term for a beat with an 808 kick, bass, snare, and rolling high hats. I feel like that's been around much longer than the term has been used.
So why a huge spike in 'trap' terms.
