Feel Style Description
Hip-Hop 6 4/4 Even 16ths
Percussion-heavy, slightly off-kilter drum
groove with slowly walking bass. The high
intensity section has a heavier downbeat,
with the hats pushing the beat forward
more.
Hip-Hop 7 4/4 Even 8ths
Tight, modern funk style beat with layered
snare and clap and slightly shuffling hats.
The high intensity section introduces busier
hats and ghost notes on the snare. Walking
bass with subtle funk.
Hip-Hop 8 4/4 Swing 8ths
Shuffling early '00s R&B production style,
with a syncopated beat carried by the hats.
Intensity of hats and fills increase in the high
intensity section. Synth bass pins down the
root.
Hip-Hop 9 4/4 Swing 8ths
Swung '90s R&B jam with a natural sounding
drum kit. The high intensity section
introduces more energy with an insistent
rhythm on the hats. Grooving electric bass
keeps to the root with small flourishes and
walks between chords.
Hip-Hop 10 3/4 Even 16ths
'90s R&B 3/4 ballad with gritty kick and
claps. Tambourine rhythm gets more intense
in the high intensity section. Smooth and
minimal electric bass with walks between
chords.
Hip-Hop 11 3/4 Even 8ths
Aggressive snare-driven 3/4 beat driven by
kick, snare, and claps. Tambourine added
in the high intensity section. Simple bass
moves slowly between chords, leaving
space for other voices.
Hip-Hop 12 3/4 Swing 8ths
A laid-back, swung ballad driven by
shuffling hats and clap. The high intensity
section increases the intensity of the beat.
Walking bass holds down the root and
gently adds embellishments.
