These sound files are commonly called drum kits and are made up of various snares, hi-hats, crashes, kick drums, toms etc. There are two ways to create a drum pattern the first way is by using a drum loop(a sample drum beat that is repeated) and the second way is to sequence your own drum beat using a drum kit.
2. A Dynamic Synthesizer
Synthesizers are mostly used to create bumping bass lines the heart of hip hop beats. But synths are also used to create percussive stabs, melodies and sound synthesis. In short they can modify any sound to countless variations. Synthesizers are like drum machines in that they can be used to create your own sound pattern or you can use a pre-recorded loop. Many producers use pre-recorded loops so do not be ashamed to use one if it feels right or when you are just starting to learn. Synths are key to making distinct cool sounding sounds and can be a whole lot of fun to use.
