Intro to the Drummer Editor in GarageBand on Mac
In the Drummer Editor, you can choose different presets and edit the Drummer’s performance.
In the Library, you can choose drum genres and drummers, whose sound and playing style are applied to all content on the Drummer track. You can choose presets for the selected drummer from either the Library or the left side of the Drummer Editor. Presets offer a quick way to browse predefined, region-based Drummer Editor settings, including kit piece pattern variations and fill settings.
The right side of the editor includes region-based settings, which influence the complexity, loudness, and other aspects of selected Drummer regions.
If you have a device with a Touch Bar, you can edit Drummer parameters using the Smart Controls screen and play the selected drum kit and percussion instruments using the Drum Pads screen.
