Add a Drummer loop to your project

When you’ve found a Drummer Loop you like, drag it into an empty part of the Tracks area. GarageBand automatically creates a new Drummer track with a region of the Drummer Loop. All the settings in the Drummer Editor are configured to reproduce the sound of the Drummer loop.

You can now edit the track as you would any other Drummer track using the Drummer Editor. You can also create your own regions in the track, and edit them freely.


Add additional Drummer Loops

You can add additional Drummer Loops of the same type (Acoustic, Electronic, or Percussionist) to an existing Drummer track. Adding Drummer Loops from multiple Drummers to the same track may cause the loop to sound different from the preview.

Djay tone mixed clud. You can add a virtual drummer to your song that plays realistic drum grooves. You can choose drummers from different genres, each with its own acoustic, electronic, or percussion drum kit. A GarageBand song can have up to two Drummer tracks.

You can change the drummer’s playing style by choosing different presets, and adjust drum patterns using the Drummer controls—which include an XY pad for adjusting the drummer’s performance, and controls for choosing different performance variations and fill settings. You can also have the Drummer follow the rhythm of another track.

If your song contains multiple Drummer regions, the changes you make using the Drummer controls affect only the currently selected Drummer region.
