Also, trimming the drum into small parts and then adjusting each one gives them a more realistic feel. So if you have an 8 bar section that’s essentially the same beat chop it into 8 parts and then put the velocity or the complexity up slightly. Only small changes make a massive difference!

none of this looks like my iPad

[@toffeeriot4219]

Certainly much better natural drums than on Studio 1 Artist. I'll be programming on here then importing them into S1.

I had used an automated drummer and when I changed the piano slightly it completely changed the drums?? I don’t know why because I had only redone the piano chords. They were the same chords from before just a little cleaner. It changed the drums COMPLETELY and I don’t know how to get them back. I’m pretty new to GarageBand too so can someone please help me 🙏

Dear Colin. Your zeal and passion for this subject is awesome. You are truly fired up for this work. May God's blessings abide permanently upon you and yours.

As powerful as they are I rarely use the drum parts GarageBand generates, I generally roll my own with each part of the kit on its own track. Great thing about that is that I can process each part of the kit individually and generally at the end choose the kit for each drums track that sits best in the mix. Works for me I guess mostly because my philosophy when it comes to drums is very much KISS. One problem I've found with the track for each part of the kit is in the rare situation of changing the key of the project with parts already done having to go through all the drum kit parts and moving them back to the notes correct for that part of the kit. Would be great to have a "drum kit part" checkbox on each track that stops key change moving the notes for the checked tracks.

can I manually record the drums in garage band

[@merv0177]

Thanks for the tutorial I’m still trying to get to grips with the drums on garage band. I use backing tracks when I’m performing and I’m trying to enhance the drums on certain tracks. But I find I can’t alter the beat of the track on the drum tracks , id like to delete or add the beat in certain places , but I find this is quite difficult. Any suggestions?

[@CalebStanbery]

A big issue that I have had with the drummer is that when making a song I have to leave a 1 to 2 2nd fill area at the beginning and it throws the drums off by a few beats when trying to sync to the tracks. Any fix for this?

[@terrykennedy-lares8840]

Thank you. Up till now all I have been doing is taking the drum tracks from the library and copying and pasting them in and using the fills. This might finally get me using the GB drummer to make more realistic drums. Question: often in my songs I might use a rest with a crash cymbal in certain sections and also ending a song with them. Do you have a GB Drummer hack for that?

[@Moykel]

Great refresher / intro session, thank you Colin. You always bring something new! Woof Chunk.

[@av8tordonny398]

I’m just getting into home recording and using GB. This is hugely helpful! Thank you!

[@savinglivesofourown]

Colin - what a wonderful series. You start your theme song off with a drum roll. Thats exactly what I'm trying to learn how to do - isolate a drum roll to paste in before my Logan (my fave) retro rock pattern.

[@scottpileggi7315]

What a great video, thank you! Have never used garageband drummer and feel like I'm a pro on the subject now. Excited to start using it more!

[@mineralt]
