I got a MacBook Pro recently-ish, and with it came garage band, which I love...I play rock, and I'm starting to venture into blues, but my real passion is heavy metal which I've noticed garage band is missing..especially for drums...is there an add-on I can buy that will offer heavy drums (double bass, etc.)? I've looked at loops, but I'm not sure what sites are credible...can anyone recommend a virus-free preferably free loop website?

Thanks!

wikiloops.com, especially considering they are generally "organic" recordings. However, you'll need to sign up, and there are restrictions on how you can utilize the loops when it comes to publishing and distributing your own music.

Just upgrade the drummers. It is money well spent. You can totally tweak the drummers. The magic of the drummers in Garageband is that you can construct the drum track and it will adapt. What I mean is you pick a drummer, create the intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outro. You can stretch and copy any section and then go back and edit how the drummer plays each section. You can't switch drummers or drum kits mid song but most other settings are editable.
