The Best Hip Hop & Trap Sample Packs of 2026
In 2026, the gap between "Beatmaker" and "Super Producer" is sound selection. If you are still using the same recycled 808s from 2018, your beats will sound dated.
At EDM Templates, we've updated our flagship SUPERB pack to meet the modern standard of Trap and Hip Hop, but we also believe in giving credit where it's due. Below, we break down the 4 essential packs every producer needs in their hard drive this year.
The 2026 Hit List
| Title | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
| SUPERB (2026 Update) | The "All-In-One" Toolkit. Over 320+ premium samples, Serum presets, and fully mixed Project Files inspired by the current billboard charts. | Get SUPERB |
| Cymatics: GEMS Vol. 21 | The melody king. Perfect for when you have writer's block and need a loop to start a vibe. | Cymatics |
| Splice: Southside "I Invented Trap" | Authentic, gritty sounds from the legend himself. Essential for dark, 808 Mafia-style production. | Splice |
| Origin Sound: HARD HIP HOP | Exactly what it says on the tin. Punchy, aggressive drums that cut through any mix without layering. | Origin Sound |
1. The Heavy Hitter: SUPERB | TRAP X HIP HOP
Most sample packs give you a folder of drum hits and wish you luck. SUPERB is different.
We built SUPERB to be a production course in a box. Yes, you get the hard-hitting 808s and crisp snares inspired by Travis Scott and G-Eazy, but you also get the Project Files.
This means you can open up a professionally mixed Trap beat in Ableton or FL Studio and see exactly how the 808 is processed, how the kick is sidechained, and how the melody is layered. It’s the fastest way to learn modern Trap production.
What's Inside?
- 250+ One-Shots & Loops: Kicks that knock, snares that snap, and 808s that don't need EQ.
- 20 Xfer Serum Presets: Custom-designed 808s and Leads so you can write your own melodies.
- 5 Ableton Live Project Files: Fully mixed and mastered. Reverse engineer the pros.
2. The Melody Machine: Cymatics GEMS
If you struggle with music theory, Cymatics remains the king of melody loops. Their "GEMS" series has become the industry standard for a reason.
While we prefer to teach you how to write your own melodies (using the Serum presets in SUPERB), there is no denying the speed of dragging in a high-quality loop. This pack is perfect for "Type Beat" producers who need to upload 5 beats a day.
3. The Legend: Southside "I Invented Trap"
Sometimes you need that raw, authentic Atlanta sound. Southside (808 Mafia) is a legend for a reason.
This Splice pack isn't polished or "clean"—and that's the point. It's gritty, distorted, and full of attitude. If you are making dark Trap or Drill, you need these hi-hat MIDIs and 808s in your arsenal.
4. The Clean Cut: Origin Sound "HARD HIP HOP"
If Southside is "Gritty," Origin Sound is "Surgical."
This pack is famous for its drum processing. The kicks are incredibly punchy and short, making them perfect for fast-paced flows where you don't want a muddy low-end. A great utility pack for building your core drum library.
Conclusion
You don't need 1TB of samples. You need 4 or 5 high-quality packs that you trust.
Start with SUPERB to get the drums, presets, and project files you need to understand the structure of a hit record. Then, supplement your library with specific flavors from Cymatics and Splice. Now go cook up.
