What defines Boom Bap beats?

The typical boom bap beat will be a loop of quarter notes. The first and the third being the kick drum and the second and forth the snare. The beat has become synonymous with the golden age of hip hop. More modern hip-hop songs are influenced by boom bap and the underlying tone that is common to all songs in the subgenre.

The balance of the music tracks are brought together by the prominent kick and snare drum. The timbre is brought about by “the emphasized low end of the kick drum and the presence of the hard-hitting snare drum”. The arrangement of the beat is made of the isolated drum hits and other brief instrumental hits from percussion instruments. The rhythmic qualities of the beat are made up of highly swung programming, which can be produced either by a deliberate delay in the analogue percussion hits or by a quantization algorithm programmed on an electronic sampler. 

Other qualities that are present in boom bap rhythm are “tight drum-instrumental syncopation”, “re-arranged phrases or rhythms”, and “percussive programming of instrumental phrases”. When an artist or producer wished to add even more complexity or intense sounds to their track they could use a synthesiser. A common practise within boom bap was to use sub-synthesis. This extra element would increase the amplitude of the bass and also intensify the sound of the kick drum. This was a desirable feature of the hip hop style’s unpolished and harsh style.
