Overview of Drummer in GarageBand on Mac

Drummer allows you to add virtual drummers to your project by creating a Drummer track. You can choose drummers from different genres. Each drummer comes with its own drum kit and a distinct playing style.

You can change the drummer’s playing a number of ways, such as choosing different presets, changing the drummer’s performance by editing parameters in the Drummer Editor, or having Drummer regions follow the rhythm of another track in the project.

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.
