GarageBand Metal Drums Tutorial UPDATE! (April 6th, 2015)

I got a request yesterday asking for me to do an updated tutorial on my Metal drum specifications on GarageBand.

So I answered his call and did my best to explain everything in great detail to help out him as well as anyone else interested in making their drums sound better for their Metal projects or just in general via GarageBand.

Stupid iMovie and me forgetting to fit-to-screen rather than the default cropping. *Head-desk*

Anyways, if you have any questions or concerns, drop a comment below and I'd be happy to clarify anything for you ASAP. :)

Here are the EQ specifications for each track (listed in order of appearance):

Metal Kit: 3:13
Kick: 4:34
Snare: 6:35
Toms: 8:03
High Hat and Ride: 9:41
