go ahead and criticize Meg's playing while she plays in front of thousands of people and you sit in front of your computer

[RedPunk1990]

People who don't like Meg's drumming must seriously be out of their minds. She's just as important a band member as Jack White is.

where/when is this concert? I want a copy

[travischron123]

the sound they get is loud and raw. That is The White Stripes, loud and raw. The idea of minimalist percussion goes back to bluesman tapping their feet while playing. If you don't like her, then don't listen to it. I personally think that the percussion emphasizes jacks guitar just perfectly to allow the huge sound that you're hearing. Some people often forget that only 2 instruments are being played.

@vernantes And you write "like as" you've only recently discovered English.

meg turns me on when she plays drums

[BustedBreaks2]

I don't know about this Meg drumming thing. Jack definitely carries the duo. But take a look at the Black Keys, Pat's drumming, I'd say in the majority of their songs, is essential, whereas, from my limited White Stripes experience, Meg's is just a secondary item to Jack.

Drumming is important, but it really depends on what you're looking for in a band.

[HiTopProd]

The drumming must drive all "real" drummers crazy. But Jack has said that White Stripes gives him freedom that he doesn't get with other bands (with more conventional setups and more skilled drummers). So it is the primative nature of her playing that gives him that springboard. So I say more power to it.

Meg does it like as she is learning to play it

[GetZapt]

I agree with Funk... Meg's minimalistic style works better with Jack's guitar playing and would'nt sound as good if she was to busy. I mean this is a two piece here. I do'nt mind hearing a busy drummer behind Jack when it was a full band. Saying Meg hits with tremendous power and force is not a good obersevation of her in the vids, those words are overstated but I am not saying she is a light hitter like most these days.
