808 hi hats with 1/8 notes filled in randomly with 1/16 triplet fills, hi pass till they are tinny, no mids.
808 Snare with short decay with mid distortion, 200hz punch is not necessary. compress.
808 Kick , cut the mids, parrallel compression only on the hi frequencies, makes it cut through the mix (necessary for trap)
Sine wave with mild colored compression, tune adsr envelope to represent a 808 sub hit, slow the attack down to let kick sound off first
An Orchestral plugin playing a "menacing" melody, make sure you use your spiccato strings.
Top it off with a nice thin supersaw synth.
That is what i picture when i hear this word "trap" being thrown around
