I feel that for as long as Meg White has been playing drums, she should be better...

    I can't believe the defense of her in this thread. Do you guys honestly think that the White Stripes wouldn't be ANY better if they had a real drummer?

    I am not defending her because she doesn't need defending. It doesn't matter if people thing she sucks.....Jack doesn't think so and guess what? That's all that matters. I have read several interviews with Jack and Meg and Jack has repeatedly said that Meg's style is exactly what he wanted from the beginning. He doesn't need a "real drummer" (whatever that means) on the kit. All I am saying is the two of them must be doing something right.

    I always thought that the drumming was meant to be kept simple like that and it fits the rhythm, i'm not a drummer so i don't know how it is technically but i've never really thought of the drumming as being out of place anyhow.

    Exactly. I have no idea if she is capable of doing more or not, but what she does seems to be exactly what is intended for that band.

    I think Jack put her in the band so he doesn't have to pay alimony.

    The Black Keys drummer is a fuckin' beast behind the kit.

    Why don't people get that Jack doesn't want meg to be a good drummer? Yeah she isn't good. Who fuckin cares? That's not what the Stripes are about.

    I think that for as long as I have been playing guitar, I should be a better guitarist.

    I don't like the White Stripes and it's nothing to do with Meg.

    Maybe Jack White will come up with something sweet with the Raconteurs.. Their's really great talent in that band

    But Meg doesn't have to be a great drummer.. The TUNES are everything... I usually don't sit there and critique every little instrumental aspect of a song. I just listen to the style... and the beat.
