Lo-fi boom bap drum loop with ghost snares and crunchy hats, 88 bpm, 2 bars

About this sample

This two-bar loop at 88 BPM pairs a sine kick whose pitch drops from 135 to 48 Hz over 38 ms with a filtered noise click, then adds light saturation and a 28 Hz high-pass. The snares blend a sine sweep from 230 to 165 Hz with band-passed noise at 700–7500 Hz; 10-bit bitcrushing and downsampling roughen the hits, while quieter ghost notes fill the gaps. Short, crushed noise hats cover 4.5–14 kHz with uneven, swung placements, and are panned slightly off center. The full loop is lightly saturated, high-passed at 25 Hz, and compressed.

Use it for boom bap, lo-fi hip-hop, or dusty instrumental beats around 88 BPM; the two-bar pattern can also sit beneath a slower half-time feel. Layer melodic parts or extra percussion carefully, since the kick has weight below 50 Hz and the hats and snare noise occupy bright upper frequencies. The loop’s swing and stereo hat placement are baked in, so check how they sit against other offbeat parts.
