How to Create A Drum Track with GarageBand

How to create a drum track in Garageband. Track can be used in your final recordings, or just give you a drum track to work with until you get your real drummer recorded. You can also export the track for use in live performances using tools such as MainStage.

Thank you for taking the time to create this. Great Tutorial and well produced, just what I was looking for.

Glad it was helpful!

[@orrinedminsten164]

this taught me so much about using garageband correctly. Thank you tons

[@kevindavis9215]

Excellent tutorial. Gives a great explanation of what things are and how to use them

[@greasebones99]

Thanks for the straight forward and clear manner you explain drum track creation here. Too many "tutorials" seem more like a showcase of how skilled the instructor is. I've played music all my life and recorded albums as a bassist for various bands but I'll be damned if learning how to master recording my own songs on Garageband isn't one of the most frustrating things I've ever tried to do.

All I wanted was a simple drum track! This is so complicated

[@brownium1]

If you want simple, you can drag a drum loop into a track.

[@billyorr6913]

amazing. Thank you so much

[@nated4949]

Just curious what’s the purpose of the 4 best clap at the beginning? Thanks for the great video

[@connie2285]

Thank you so much for this! I subscribed :)

[@CaliforniaKid44]

How did it happen that the audio of your scratch track started playing right in perfect time, when the clap track intro ended?

[@skua691]

How do you drag the loop across the screen beyond 32 bars, it gets stuck there?

[@tomthomas1653]
