About Trap Tempo
Trap music is typically produced at 130-170 BPM but usually felt at half-time (65-85 BPM). Originating in the southern United States through producers like Shawty Redd and Lex Luger, trap blends hip-hop with electronic production techniques. The 140 BPM mark with snares on beat 3 is the de facto modern standard, used everywhere from Atlanta rap to EDM trap.
Characteristics
- Rolling hi-hats with triplet patterns
- Heavy 808 bass and sub-bass
- Half-time feel with sparse arrangement
- Hard-hitting snares and layered percussion
