Does any one make sample beats like this beat?

I have a similar sound to this. Sample-wise, at least. Sometimes I go for more of a mac miller sound and use some old school hip-hop drums overtop of the sample, though
 
It depends what you mean when you're referring to the sound. Do you mean the sample? Because a lot of times I'll sample something like Teebs if I want a really melodic, trippy type of sound to it, or just whatever sample I come across that I like while digging around youtube. I'll sometimes layer an instrument with it as well. Not too much because my samples are usually already pretty melodic, but if I chopped the samples a lot and I want to make it sound more fluent, I'll have a synth playing notes over top of the sample.
For the drums, I almost always have them compressed and for my beats I use a lot of sidechaining on the kick drum, which is what makes the audio cut out for a second every time the kick hits.
It sounds like they might have used a bit of background percussion on this beat as well.
