How to make a trap 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
Anchor the 808 kick
Put the kick on the one, then syncopate — a hit just before beat 2 or after beat 3 gives trap its lurch. The Neon 808 kit's kick carries the sub, so leave it room.
02 / 03
Half-time snare, rolling hats
One snare (plus clap) on beat 3 makes the loop feel half-time. Fill the closed-hat row solid, then punch holes and add an open hat at the turnaround for the roll feel.
03 / 03
Keep the melody dark and sparse
Trap lives in minor keys — the starter beat is F minor pentatonic. Three to five Keys notes answering the kick is plenty; export free when it knocks.

Trap beat questions
Is this trap beat maker really free?
Yes. The full 16-step sequencer, the Neon 808 trap kit, tempo, key and scale control, mixing, and beat export are free with no account. Studio Pro ($5 once, no subscription) adds all nine kits, seven more instrument rows, and 44.1kHz stereo WAV export.
What BPM should a trap beat be?
Most trap sits between 130 and 160 BPM with a half-time snare on beat 3, so it feels like 65–80. The preloaded starter beat runs at 140 BPM — drag the tempo to taste.
Does it have real 808s?
The Neon 808 kit's kick is a synthesized 808-style sub, generated live by your browser — no sample packs to download or clear. Studio Pro adds the heavier Iron Trap kit plus an 808-glide bass voice.
Can I sell trap beats I make here?
Yes — every sound is synthesized, not sampled, so exports are 100% yours to release, sell, or put behind a rapper's verse.
