You can add a virtual drummer to your song that plays realistic drum grooves. You can choose drummers from different genres, each with its own acoustic, electronic, or percussion drum kit.
A GarageBand song can have up to two Drummer tracks. You can also have the Drummer follow the rhythm of another track. If your song contains multiple Drummer regions, the changes you make using the Drummer controls affect only the currently selected Drummer region. Tap the Navigation button in the control bar, tap the Sounds button, tap the style of drum kit you want to use Acoustic, Electronic, or Percussion , then tap the drummer you want to play.
You can also swipe left or right on the Sounds button to change to the previous or next drummer. Tap the current drummer preset above the XY pad, scroll vertically through the preset list, tap a preset, then tap Done. To hear the preset, tap the Play button in the control bar. Each style of drum kit —acoustic, electronic, or percussion— has different groups of drum kit pieces. The slider to the right of each group controls the pattern for that particular group. On iPhone SE, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, or iPhone 6s, touch and hold the button next to the name of the kit piece, then drag the slider left or right.
Drag the Fills slider right to increase the number of fills, or drag it left to decrease the number of fills. You can have the kick and snare portions of an acoustic or electronic Drummer region follow the rhythmic groove of another track. Each Drummer region can follow a different track.

They built this thing of theirs together, and now Keith feels betrayed, and Charlie, whose sense of loyalty to the band is as deep as the ocean, feels worse than Keith. This according to Keith, who is on a homicidal rampage. Everyone has had it with Mick, who has gone rogue in his bid to become the next Michael Jackson or David Bowie.
He especially worshipped David Bowie, who moved easily between worlds as a professional weirdo, international fashion icon more like interstellar fashion icon , rock-star royalty, and could have massive dance hits and still be respected as a legit artiste.
Where do you think Mick got the idea for all that gender-bending in the early s? Of course, unlike Bowie, Mick was no avant-gardist — he had none of the cultural fearlessness of Bowie, and he was way too obsessed with being on trend to experiment—not to mention, his brand was the Rolling Stones.
Neither was Charlie. Anyway, Keith lends Mick a jacket to go out, not incidentally the one Keith got married in, and they get back to the hotel around five in the morning, properly potted. There was Charlie Watts, Savile Row suit, perfectly dressed, tie, shaved, the whole fucking bit. I could smell the cologne! So far, so good.
After all the drugs, the misadventure, Altamont, and every other fucked-up situation that they have ever been in, who thought this is how the Rolling Stones would end, in a scene more worthy of a Marx Brothers movie than Cocksucker Blues? Except that Keith realizes that Mick is wearing his jacket, the one he got married in , and he really wants it back. Keith grabs Mick and hauls him back into the room. Charlie is incensed — he was happy to see Mick go flying out the window. In fact, he wants to have another go at it, but Keith is insistent about not wanting to lose the jacket.
Everybody had a copy, but nobody listened to it. But back to our hero. The remarkable thing — or perhaps the most unsurprising thing — is that Charlie Watts is the only Rolling Stone who could make a run of perfectly lovely solo records that are beyond criticism.
There is no agenda. It is pure of spirit in every possible way. He had the same reasonable fear as any other jazz musician in the latter part of the 20th century — that the only people in the audience on any given night might be his wife and his best mate. But he was treated with godlike reverence, even as he disarmed talk-show hosts with his good manners, dry wit, and refusal to talk about the Rolling Stones. Charlie Watts playing the drums is the sound of happiness, the aural equivalent of Snoopy doing his dance of joy.
It came from his heart, not from his hands. And no drum solos! Reprinted by permission. Already a subscriber? Log in or link your magazine subscription. Account Profile. Sign Out.
