Techno hi hat loop 130 bpm, 2 bars, driving 16th notes

About this sample

This two-bar, 130 BPM loop runs for 3.69 seconds with continuous sixteenth-note hats. Each hit is a fresh white-noise burst, shaped by a third-order band-pass filter: regular hats cover 6.5–16 kHz, while occasional longer offbeat hits widen the range down to 4.8 kHz. Short hats last 75 ms with a fast decay; the longer hits last 220 ms and decay more gradually, with brief fades at the edges. Accents vary across the pattern, and hits alternate subtly between left and right.

Use it for driving techno and other club tracks around 130 BPM, or chop and time-stretch it to fit a different grid. Layer it over a kick, adjusting level or high-frequency EQ if the hats compete with cymbals or vocal sibilance.
