Pro sound design

This Hip Hop clap sample pack was recorded in various environments, including world-class studio rooms, large house hallways, staircases, and more, capturing unique characteristics of clap sounds. We’ve meticulously designed 99 clap samples, ranging from small and medium to big, punchy claps. Additionally, the pack includes a folder with experimental FX claps.

Top-notch microphones, such as the Brauner Valvet, Schoeps BLM-03C, AKG C-12, Neumann U-87, and Beyerdynamic M160, paired with class-A preamps, provided a rich palette of frequencies to create these impactful clap sounds.

Our ’99 Claps’ hip hop sample pack includes 99 clap samples and 21 clap loops, organized into four categories:

Big Klapz – 20 WAV samples
Medium Klapz – 25 WAV samples
Small Klapz – 26 WAV samples
FX Klapz – 29 WAV samples

Usage examples

“Small Klapz” are ideal for creating rhythmic patterns (8th or 16th notes), while “Big Klapz” can fill snare spots. The “FX Klapz” selection features claps layered with experimental metallic, wooden, plastic, and organic sounds. For a massive club-ready clap, layer two Big Klapz, panning each sample left and right, and add a Medium Klap to the center.

This sound set is perfect for producers across various genres who demand high-quality claps.

You got 99 problems, but a clap ain’t one.

One-shot .wav format clap samples are programmed into Kontakt, Battery, Reason NN-XT, Halion and Soundfont presets.
