Start with the backbeat
Place a snare on the second and fourth beats, then choose where the kick answers it. Keep the first loop simple enough to rap over comfortably.

Hip Hop Beat Generator
Put a kick, snare, and hi-hat around a 16-step grid. This is a real, local drum sketch for practice—not an AI instrumental, sample library, or finished production.
16 STEPS / 4 BEATS / ONE LOCAL BAR
Local drum sketchA little rhythm. A blank canvas.
Toggle a few hits, find your tempo, and hear the difference. Simple drum synthesis runs entirely in this browser.
Browser sketch available. AI generation not connected. This utility makes simple kick, snare, and hi-hat sounds. It does not generate a full instrumental, melody, bass line, or stems. No credits are charged.

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
Change one thing at a time
Move a kick or remove a hi-hat before adding more hits. A small rhythmic change can tell you more than making every step busy.
Treat the export as a sketch
The WAV contains one bar of synthesized drums at your chosen tempo. It has no melody, bass instrument, mastering, or generated arrangement.
Before you jump in.
WHAT THIS PAGE DOES — AND DOES NOT DO
Is this an AI-generated beat?
No. The grid synthesizes simple drum sounds locally in your browser. AI instrumental generation is not connected.
Can I download the loop?
Yes. Export WAV creates a real one-bar audio file from the visible pattern. Playback and export do not upload your pattern or use credits.
Why does changing the pattern stop playback?
Playback stops when the pattern or tempo changes so you never hear an older loop while looking at a different grid. Press Play to hear the updated version.
