      5. In the Plug-ins menu select N-Drums

      6. There's a chance that you'll get a warning saying that you need to lower the security settings for GarageBand. In order to use N-Drums, you'll need to click on Lower Security Settings. This is typical for using any VST/AU in GarageBand, so don't worry!
