How To Play Drums In Garageband On Mac
Play the Drums in GarageBand for iPad. Using the Drums Touch Instrument, you can play a drum kit simply by tapping the onscreen drums. You can choose either an acoustic or electronic drum kit. Garageband 10’s Drummer track is brilliant, isn’t it? It’s the next best thing to actually recording an actual drummer playing on an actual drum kit. I find myself using it much more than any other of Garageband’s features. Turns out you lovely Garageband Guide readers like it just as much as I do!
