Double click on it to show (or hide) at the bottom of the screen the track detail. The yellow golden rectangle with a wave file graphic in it is called a “region”. You can not only change your drummer, but your kit as well! (You may need additional downloads for these as well.) Notice under the drummers, there are also drum kits.
The Electronic and Hip Hop genres will use “drum machines” but you can still use Drummer in the same fashion to control the patterns. The Rock, Alternative, Songwriter and R&B are kind of what you’d expect and use “traditional” acoustic drum sets. One nice recent addition is Percussion, so if you are doing more Latin or Fusion type themes, this can be handy.

Most of the other drummers aren’t installed by default, so you’ll have to download them before you can use them. We can select the genre and then the drummer that best fits the style we are going for. Under the headshot image, it will have a description of his playing style. Notice on the left side in the Library, Rock is selected and the “drummer” that we have chosen is Kyle, who plays a Pop Rock style. Most tracks are audio or midi information, but a Drummer track is a special type of track. The one we are interested in is the first track, which is a drummer track. Notice that there are several pre-populated tracks, a mic for singing, another mic for an acoustic guitar, a couple of guitar amp emulations for electric guitar, and a piano track, if you have a midi keyboard. If you go into File, New and select Songwriter.
I’m not saying it can’t be done, but why not just do the rhythm part up front and save yourself a headache later on? You can always adjust the drums and percussion if need be. And lastly, if you are a songwriter and trying to create a melody on guitar or piano without a rhythm track, you are going to have a difficult time later trying to find the bpm and adjusting your audio region accordingly. If you just want to jam on guitar, it’s always nice to have a drum track to play to, and you can get it up and running quickly.
Why am I starting with the Drummer you might ask? Well first off because it’s not only one of the coolest features but also easy to use.

While Logic Pro X is typically $200 in the App Store, GarageBand is free, and you get quite a lot of features for the price! That’s not to say Logic isn’t a good deal, as you get a ton of stuff as well, including free upgrades, but alas, we are here to talk about how to use GarageBand. If you are a singer/songwriter, it’s probably fine.

That’s not to say that you can’t make professional grade music in GarageBand, and if you aren’t working in a studio recording a ton of tracks, then it may be all you need. Or Logic Pro X is the professional version of GarageBand if you prefer. If you didn’t already know, GarageBand is essentially the lite version of Logic Pro X.
