jazzy swung open hi-hat pattern 90 bpm 2 bars

About this sample

This hi-hat pattern features open, airy sounds created by mixing high-passed pink noise with a soft metallic bandpass emphasis between 5 kHz and 15 kHz. It plays a swung 16th note rhythm at 90 BPM over two bars, with each hit having its own decay envelope and fade to avoid clicks. The pattern includes subtle pitch variations around 4 to 5 kHz and alternating stereo panning to produce a humanized, jazzy feel. Two hits per step are layered with slightly shifted timing and dynamics to enhance the loping groove.

Suitable for jazz, neo-soul, or laid-back hip-hop beats, this pattern fits well at 90 BPM or in similar mid-tempo contexts. It can be layered under more prominent drum elements or left exposed for a delicate groove texture. When mixing, watch for the high-frequency content to prevent harshness, and consider light compression or EQ to blend smoothly with other percussion.
