Breakbeat hi hat loop 136 bpm, 2 bars, open and loose

About this sample

Two bars at 136 BPM, this 3.53-second stereo loop pairs airy open hats with sparse, crisp closed ticks. Each hit starts as white noise, high-pass filtered around 6.2 kHz for the opens and 7.6 kHz for the closed hats, with sine modulation shifting those cutoffs by 1.5 kHz and 900 Hz respectively; both layers are low-passed near 15 kHz. The opens decay over 0.34–0.42 seconds, while the closed hits are 85 ms, with short fades and restrained room reverb; varied panning and offbeat placements keep the groove loose.

Use it for breakbeat, garage, or other syncopated electronic rhythms around 136 BPM, or chop it to fit a different grid. Layer it over a kick and snare, adjusting the hat level or high frequencies if the noise competes with cymbals or vocal sibilance.
