Description
808 Trapstep Vol 2 by TriSamples delivers over 430 sampled, synthesised, and mangled 808 and 909 drum sounds built for modern trap, hip-hop, and future bass production. The pack builds on the original Trapstep collection with a significantly expanded library of one-shots across every essential drum category.
The 40 bass samples range from deep, clean sub-808s to heavily saturated and distorted variants that cut through any mix. Kick drums hit hard with 46 punchy options, while the 85 snare and 58 clap samples cover everything from tight and crisp to wide and layered.
Beyond core drum sounds, the pack includes 66 cymbals, 64 percussion hits, and 24 sound effects for adding texture and movement to your patterns. A collection of 51 vocal chants rounds out the kit with the call-and-response energy that defined the Lex Luger and Boi1da era of trap.
All samples are organised into clearly labelled folders for fast workflow integration. An Ableton Live project file of the demo beat is included, letting you study the arrangement and sound design choices firsthand.
Every sound is royalty-free and delivered in 24-bit WAV format, ready to load into any DAW or sampler without conversion.
Tips
- Layering 808 Bass Samples: Combine different 808 bass samples to create a fuller, more complex bass sound. For instance, layer a clean sub-bass with a distorted 808 to achieve a rich, powerful low end.
- Enhancing Kick Drums: Use the kick drum samples in conjunction with transient shapers and EQ to emphasize the attack and body of the kick. This will help the kick drum cut through the mix and provide a solid foundation for your track.
- Creative Snare Processing: Experiment with reverb and delay on the snare drum samples to create a sense of space and depth. Additionally, layering multiple snare samples can add more punch and character to your snare hits.
- Utilizing Percussion for Groove: Use the percussion samples to add groove and movement to your drum patterns. Try placing percussion hits on off-beats or in syncopated rhythms to create a more dynamic and interesting beat.
- Incorporating Vocal Chants: Integrate the vocal chants into your tracks to add energy and a human element. These can be used as call-and-response elements, hooks, or background textures to enhance the overall vibe of your production.
