I'm not sure how Trap is structured. I recently got offered to make some Trap music for a label. I have been listening to Trap for a solid 4 hours straight trying to figure out what the drums sound like and everything and this is all I came up with. :s
How do I create Trap music?

It sounds about right, but the drop could use a little more intensity and separation from the intro. Other than that, it's pretty good.

Thanks! That means a lot, I was nervous about how it would sound to people who listen to it on a regular basis. Good to know I'm on the right track though.
You're totally getting there. Work on the balance between the vocals and the track. The bass is usually the favorite part of anyone listening to it. Just one second of separation between a section and the drop can make the entire song awesome.
This is really the best example I can give:

Listen to the drop near 1:59. That one second silence makes the drop simply phenomenal.
when you're deciding if you want silence between the verse and the drop a good thing to do is imagine someone standing at the edge of a cliff, and slowly teetering off
the silence is the time when your feet are on the edge of the cliff, and you're angling off it, and the fall is the climactic point, the drop. make the drop worthy of the fall.

That's the most philosophical definition of a drop I've ever seen. Well done.
You guys give good advice. Thanks! I'll be sure to incorporate it.
You pretty much have the melodies, vocal editing, and drum rhythms on point. I'd say do some small sidechaining on the kick and snare so they cut through the melodies nicely considering it's dance music and all. Maybe a little more variation in the drums but then again this is a test of the style. I definitely think you have a good idea, stuff sounded good man!

Better than mine, you seem to at least know what you're doing!
I think yours is excellent! The first time I posted that was in another thread and all I got was "Everything about it is stupid" ahaha! oh well.
