Reggaeton hi hat loop 95 bpm, 2 bars

About this sample

A two-bar, 95 BPM loop places bright, syncopated sixteenth-note ticks across the stereo field, with three longer open-hat accents. Each hit layers white noise band-passed from 6.5 to 14.5 kHz with a faint 9.3 kHz sine partial. Short closed hats use 12 ms attacks and 120 ms releases; open hats have 18 ms attacks and 220 ms releases, giving them a softer, longer wash. The hits sit under diffuse reverb with a 2.2-second decay and 30% mix, contained within the loop.

Use it for reggaeton and other Latin or pop grooves around 95 BPM, or time-stretch it to fit a nearby tempo. Layer it over a kick and snare to add syncopation, and adjust the reverb or high frequencies if the wash competes with vocal sibilance or bright percussion. The sustained accents can blur a dense mix, so leave space around them.
