UK garage shuffled hi hat loop, 132 bpm, 2 bars

About this sample

This two-bar, 132 BPM loop pairs crisp closed hats with sparse open-hat accents, built entirely from filtered noise. Closed hits pass through a third-order bandpass from 6.5–16 kHz and decay over 55 ms; open hits use a 4.8–15 kHz bandpass and a 13 ms decay, with longer 0.24-second samples. Selective 16th-note placements create space between hits, while alternating steps are delayed by 16% of a sixteenth for swing. Accented closed hits are louder, and subtle left-right panning varies across the pattern.

Use it for UK garage, shuffled house, and other broken-beat grooves around 132 BPM; try half-time or double-time contexts if the rhythm fits. Layer it over a kick and snare, or add gentle saturation and reverb to bring the hats forward or soften their edges. Keep an eye on the upper-frequency range, where the dense noise transients may compete with cymbals or bright synths.
