Right, so, use the midi editor to just add a 4-on-the-floor in GarageBand 
What you just described is exactly how the midi editors work in DAWs.
It’s super easy.
Ok I’ll give it a shot. Want to use it with WAZA headset and really nail these Rich Brown groove exercises. Thanks!

It’s super useful once you get the hang of it. It takes me about 30-60 minutes to lay down a drum track for a whole song for most covers I have done. Here’s how it looks in Reaper:
Live has a similar interface, as does GB on the iPhone. This kind of MIDI editing goes back to the original software sequencers in the '80s, it’s ubiquitous.

Another option is the beat buddy mini 2. It’s a dead simple drum machine in a pedal. You can’t program it but you can change the tempo and it has a good selection of various types of beats and genres. The pedal format works well for me and plugs right into my amp without special adapters.

Got to agree with @JoshFossgreen on his Metronomics recommendation. Can be used as a handy drumkit to practice along with or an advanced programmable metronome with every rhythm you can think of. It even includes a probability feature so you can add some bum notes to simulate a drummer that messes up, giving the bassist an opportunity to improvise.
