Forays into GarageBand

Last weekend decided to see if I could get some decent simple drum sounds out of my Mac. Cubase requires an external midi device but GarageBand has this pop-up keyboard that maps to the actual computer keyboard. Setting = Rock Drums or something. Had this idea floating around for sometime, and I have not quite been able to communicate the actual feel of the idea. This was the big opportunity… and here is the first mix:

Diblopop

This one is in the spirit of the great masters of afropop.

Nice work. I like the layered guitar. Reminds me of my days in Cameroon. In garage band, did you have to build the drums yourself. Or is there an “afro-pop” starter?

I built them up using the midi drums. I don't think I nailed the rhythm exactly but it works. Thanks for commenting.
