How to make a hip hop beat in Beatloom
The starter beat above already follows these moves — pull it apart pad by pad, or clear the grid and build your own from the recipe.
01 / 03
Start with the backbeat
Kick on the one, snare hard on 2 and 4 — everything else is arranged around that. The starter beat's extra kick answers land late in the bar, and that is what makes a loop nod instead of march.
02 / 03
Add swing, not more notes
Push SWING to roughly 20% so the eighth hats drag behind the grid. A sparse groove with swing beats a busy one without it, and it leaves a rapper room to breathe.
03 / 03
Sample-free sampling
Lock the bass to the kick on the root, comp two or three Keys chord tones on the backbeats, and answer with one pluck phrase. Export it on the Output tier ($3.99 once) and hand the WAV to whoever is writing.
Free to build & hear. $3.99 to own the master.

Hip-Hop beat questions
Is this hip hop beat maker free?
Yes — press play and edit the drums, keys, tempo, key and scale, and mix for free, with no account. The Dust Break kit's bass and pluck rows are Creative sounds ($1 once) that play in full here; Creative unlocks editing them plus all twelve kits, and Output ($3.99 once) adds the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, save slots and shareable links (standard-quality export is free).
What BPM should a hip hop beat be?
Classic boom bap sits between 85 and 95 BPM; modern trap-leaning hip hop is faster with a half-time snare. The starter beat runs at 90 BPM with 22% swing — the head-nod tempo.
Do I need samples or a drum machine to make hip hop?
No. Beatloom synthesizes the Dust Break kit's punchy kick, gritty snare and tape-hazed shakers in your browser, so there is nothing to dig for, nothing to clear and nothing to upload.
Can I sell or monetise a beat I make here?
Yes — every beat is royalty-free and entirely yours on every tier, including free: release it, sell it, or hand it to an artist, with no per-project licence and no attribution. Output ($3.99 once) downloads a clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV ready for a session.
Cost, licence & export
How much does Beatloom cost?
Building and hearing a beat is free, with no account. Creative is $1 once and unlocks all twelve kits, seven more instrument rows, sample and loop upload, 32 steps, swing and panning. Output is $3.99 once and adds the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, three save slots and shareable beat links — a standard-quality WAV export is free on every tier. Nothing is a subscription and nothing renews.
Are the beats royalty-free? Can I use them commercially?
Yes. Everything you make in Beatloom is royalty-free and yours on every tier, including free. Release it, sell it, monetise it, and use it in paid client work — video, ads, podcasts, social — with no per-project licence, no attribution and no extra fee. The one thing you cannot do is resell the raw Beatloom sounds as a sample pack.
Can I export my beat as a WAV file?
Yes. Standard-quality export is free. The one-time $3.99 Output unlock adds clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV masters, three pattern save slots and shareable beat links. Exports download straight to your device.
Does Beatloom work on a Chromebook, or on a phone?
Yes. Any modern browser works — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop or mobile, including Chromebooks. On phones the step grid scrolls sideways; headphones are recommended for the sub-bass.
