Lo-fi hip hop hi hat loop 85 bpm, 2 bars, dusty and swung

About this sample

This two-bar loop runs at 85 BPM, with swung eighth-note ticks and quieter sixteenth-note ghosts. Each main hit layers white noise band-passed from 4.2 to 11.5 kHz, crushed to 8-bit with 3× downsampling, and a faint sine tone around 7.2–7.82 kHz. Short decay envelopes shape the hits; softer pink-noise ghosts are high-passed at 6.5 kHz and crushed more heavily. The full loop is high-passed at 1.8 kHz, given a small amount of room reverb, and finalized at -3 dB peak.

Use it for lo-fi hip-hop and relaxed beat grooves around 85 BPM, or try half-time arrangements that leave space for the swung accents. It can sit over a dusty drum break or replace a cleaner hat part; watch for accumulated high-frequency harshness when layering with bright cymbals.
