140 BPM typical

Range: 130–150 BPM

Trap is the classic 'count it two ways' genre. Producers write it at 130–150 BPM (140 is the anchor), but because the snare/clap lands on beat 3, it feels like half that — around 70 BPM. Both numbers are 'correct'; they describe the same groove.

Typical structure

Intro (atmosphere) → hook → verse → hook → verse → hook out. The 808 and hook define the song; arrangements stay minimal.

Production notes

Set the DAW to ~140 BPM and program hi-hats in triplets and 1/32 rolls; the snare hits on beat 3 (the half-time feel). 808s are the lead instrument: tune them to the key, glide between notes, and keep them mono and controlled in the low end. Leave space — trap is sparse by design. If you prefer to write at 70 BPM, double your hi-hat resolution.
