Roland V-Drums to GarageBand HELP

I have connected my Roland TD-07 v-drums to my MacBook Pro with the goal of recording drums on GarageBand but am having issues. I downloaded the driver for my Mac software and Roland kit and made sure my kit settings allow for VENDOR MIDI but still am getting no MIDI input for the drums in GarageBand. Only output. When I plug in the usb is says “2 midi inputs now available” but it doesn’t show the kit as an input option when I open settings. Does anyone know how to record Roland v drums on GarageBand??

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3

Does this help:

I suggest you contact Roland. Drivers should not be necessary for a USB-Midi compliant device.
