Pete, I have been swimming blindly in the world of beats, loops and digital drummer, clumsily using my fingers to get through. As usual, you have presented something I never knew. You are a gem. There seems to be no end to GB functions. Thank you!!
Wow, this is awesome. I play my own drums on my songs, but using this to assist me in coming up with cool ideas for drum beats is very useful. Thanks again Pete.
man i love you so freaking much, youve helped me make a huge progress and its a huge deal for my career, i hope i can make us even one day, and make my music warm your heart.
Another super useful video Pete! Just wondering, do you tap the drum patterns on the iPad screen, and do you by any chance have a video where you link up a MIDI keyboard to play GB drums?
I just use 3rd party kits, and I program use section separately like the snare and hh on its own track that way I can make each part of the drum any custom pattern. Sometimes I’ll use the beat sequencer to get ideas.
Your videos are super helpful. I’m currently trying to figure out how I can get it so when I finish writing a song, I can export it and my wife can have it playing in her Apple Music library. Is that possible? I’m using an iPad Pro creating in GarageBand.
You took the words right out of my mouth in the end with the info on Logic Pro. 🥁 Why does the velocity only appear when you have 2 tracks of drums and not a single one/
Howdy! The velocity should be there with just the one drum track? Might have just been the way I demonstrated it in the video. studiolivetoday.com/garageband
...noob question: why does my interface not look like yours? I have a drum machine and a cutout of a drum kit; and follow mode prompts me to create a new software instrument track. I've got to be missing something.
If I add a guitar instrumental and I don't know how to play other instruments can I somehow add drums or piano or any other instrument to fit my music?
Hey there. Not sure there’s a way to actually change the performance form a major to minor key sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
I’m having a little problem. It won’t let me add a drummer track after I’ve opened GarageBand and made my first Acoustic Drums track. Am I doing something wrong?
Hey there. I’m not really an expert when it comes to GarageBand Mac sorry. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord. Or the GarageBand Users Facebook group. studiolivetoday.com/gbu
Mac had different options so I’m not 100% sure. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
I do respect your job and your content….but I tried both GB and LP IPad to follow your instructions and I got sick of it! Man it doesn’t`t follow the other drum……I need to learn this because I don`t have a drummer to play and this thing doesn’t`t help at all! I don`t know what to do with this anymore. I am not complaining about it but I needed it to solve my issues here!
It’s not 100%. The Drummer can only call upon it’s set group of patterns so it will get as close as it can. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord. There’s lots of folks who like collaborating over there.
Good question? And something I hadn't thought of. But yes, any audio file can be used as the track to "follow", so if you imported a drum track, it would work.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Reason I asked was once I recorded a drummer who's drums sounded really boomy and I thought I could transfer the track and let Kyle play along so I could get a better sound.
Awesome Pete...I was thinking last night, while listening to your Aussie group, "For King and Country" (I love their big drum sound & effects, production is great)..I thought I would like to figure out how to change up the drums to get them more exciting & bigger... I'm going to play with this!👍Thanks! ruclips.net/video/HdIfQ65r0Uo/видео.html

Fun little hack ain’t it? Welcome back my friend. Good to see you in the comments here.
All these years and I’ve never used this…. Thanks yet again.
Hope you find it useful.
Hi Pete,just been playing around with this tip and it is brilliant 🤩 thank you for showing us all of these great tips in GarageBand 😊

This really makes those e-drummers more useful. Good tip.
Cheers. Yeah, it’s like being about to tally to your drummer. They won’t do exactly what you say, but they’ll come close. 😀
Awesome awesome tip. Thank you. Wish I’d knows this the last few years.
It's a game changer. For all of us who have said "I just want the drums to go boom, bap, boom boom, bap" but don't have the patience to program it. 😆
@@PeteJohnsMusicIndeed bro. Anything to help the process
Always with the great ideas, Pete! Good one.

Coming from the king of epic programmed GarageBand drums, I’ll take the component! 🤘
OMFG a massive AHA moment!!! This is great!!! Thanks for this Pete!
Very welcome my friend. Thanks so much for you support.
Just found out how to do it in Logic Pro for iPad, superb stuff🎉
Yup. Will work the same in Logic. Pretty easy way to get some good sounding drums.
I always set my RUclips clips to No fill , so like yours it’s just information ❤ 🥁
Haha! That’s awesome to hear. And exactly what I’m going for.
really great Pete

What keys on the keyboard are you hitting to trigger the individual drums and cymbols? Thanks for posting, Sal

As a beginner to programming drums this is so helpful thank you! Also question is there a way to do this in the same convenience on a macbook?
I’m not much of a Mac expert I’m afraid but I think there are similar functions in GarageBand Drummer on Mac?
@@PeteJohnsMusic I’ll give it a look thank you!
@PeteJohnsMusic How do you view the tracks and instrument at the same time like you have here? I can only view one at a time on my iPad.
If you have a 12.9” or larger iPad it will show both. You can also use this tip.

I have a kick drum trigger I want to make trigger the kick because I hate fingertapping. unfortunately it looks like you can’t do that

...noob question: why does my interface not look like yours? I have a drum machine and a cutout of a drum kit; and follow mode prompts me to create a new software instrument track.
I've got to be missing something.
You’re on GarageBand iOS? Mac is different. And older versions are also slightly different.
Do u use mouse to control the drum beat?
You can. I use the mouse and trackpad from time to time.
If I add a guitar instrumental and I don't know how to play other instruments can I somehow add drums or piano or any other instrument to fit my music?
Yep, this sort of method works well for that sort of thing. studiolivetoday.com/garageband
Do you know how to change the replayable music in the „Key signature“ option in the top right from to major or to minor without to do it manually?
Hey there. Not sure there’s a way to actually change the performance form a major to minor key sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
@@PeteJohnsMusic okay. But still thanks for help :)
Is there a way I can do this on my mac version? It would make my life a lot easier thanks
I believe so? Very similar features and in fact more options in the Mac version.
@PeteJohnsMusic great thanks... I'm very new to recording music so this helps a lot 😊
I’m having a little problem. It won’t let me add a drummer track after I’ve opened GarageBand and made my first Acoustic Drums track. Am I doing something wrong?
That’s odd? Is it greyed out? Make sure you’re adding a new track and din Talley’s have any Drummer tracks. It only allows a maximum o( 2
@@PeteJohnsMusic I even made sure GarageBand was updated. When I made a Drums track, there wasn’t even an option to switch to tracks view.
I can't see thsat option on OSX Desktop. How can you access to virtual drum?

Can we do this method for electronic drums ?
Yup sure can. 👍
Where the plus button on iPad
Just scroll down to the bottom track. studiolivetoday.com/garageband

Can we do this method on GB/Logic Pro Mac ?
Haven’t tried it personally but I imagine it would work the same.
Good tip. Kyle was starting to complain about following the bass all the time. Bass player nearly quit the band. 😂
Can you get Kyle to follow real drum tracks from a real drummer other than the one you play on an iPad ?
Good question? And something I hadn't thought of. But yes, any audio file can be used as the track to "follow", so if you imported a drum track, it would work.
