From the driving pulse of the Kick to the sharp snap of the Clap, each element plays a crucial role in shaping the rhythm.","kick":{"title":"Kick","desc":"Also called a bass drum, an acoustic kick is struck by a pedal with a beater attached, and is played by the drummer's foot. Electronic versions of this sound are sometimes made to sustain much longer than the relatively short sound produced by a physical drum."},"clap":{"title":"Clap","desc":"This is the sound of one or more people clapping their hands. Today, electronic, stylized versions of this sound (like the one used here) are much more common than actual recordings of handclaps in modern production."},"snare":{"title":"Snare","desc":"A snare drum is struck with a drum stick, and produces a short, bright sound. A set of wires (called snares) is stretched across a drum head at the bottom of the drum. The vibration produced gives the drum its characteristic \"cracking\" tone."},"hats":{"closedTitle":"Closed Hat","openTitle":"Open Hat","desc":"These are sounds created by the hi-hat. Hi-hats are a pair of small cymbals mounted on a stand. They are \"closed\" when pressed together by a foot pedal, and \"open\" when raised. In this beat maker, if you play a closed hat while an open hat is sounding, the closed sound will \"choke\" or stop the open sound, mimicking real behavior."},"didYouNotice":{"title":"Did you notice?","text":"If you play a closed hihat while an open hihat sound is still being heard, the closed sound will \"win,\" and stop the open sound immediately. This matches the way hihats behave in the real world; the hihat can't be open and closed at the same time."}},"studio":{"badge":"Browser-first beat sketchpad","heroTitle":"Make beats online with a free drum sequencer","heroDescription":"Choose a preset, press Play, and edit the 16-step grid.
