Eh, I think that her "less is more" approach is due to the simple fact that she is unable to perform "more". What she plays is literally the extent of her ability.
@@ShouldHaveBeen I hear ya! I'm just not a fan of the current trends of glorifying under skilled players just because of elements that are completely unrelated to music and drum playing. Bread and water are "enough" to survive, yet it makes for extremely bland and boring dining experience. Just like the white stripes makes for a similar listening experience. There is a whole world of drumming out there, filled with lots and lots of creative and excellent players.
Agreed. A musician's need to demonstrate their talent tends to lead to them trying way to hard. Everyone knows the best meals are cooked with the simplest ingredients.
@@AbsurdCatsHe doesn't understand what talent is. She has been recognized multiple times by an academy of her peers, and by their standards has been rightfully awarded.
The contrast between Jack's strong ego and Meg's 0% ego made their live performances very enjoyable. I've seen one interview in which she starts talking, and I realized how smart she is. Although most often she wouldn't want to speak.
Another thing which made Meg White special was in live performance: Jack would often suddenly switch from one song to another, departing from the set list, sometimes mid song. Meg was never fazed and picked up the groove instantly.
@@cripdykeExactly. Doesn’t understand the genius, can’t comprehend that when you employ the “less is more” philosophy correctly and in a timely fashion, you create history. I have always loved Meg’s drumming, and I am not a drummer, I just hyperfocus on the beat to every song I hear. Within 3 seconds, I know whether I will like a song based on its drumbeat. I’m autistic with a side order of adhd. The way Meg plays reminds me of how I do things like write poetry or paint in oils. She is in the zone. Nobody can get in there except for her.
Exactly. There is a unique quality with all musicians who became legends. You only need to hear a couple of notes and you immediately recognize Malcolm Young. It is the same with Meg White and with Jack White.
Jack teached her to play drums. It's all his drums. So its mostly Jacks talent. You can here it in Th Dead Weather songs )) But she is preaty good in this simplisity
"wow look at her play the tambourine, she's so simple, its genius!!" this is laughable, she is riding the coattails of Jack's talent and people think she's an amazing drummer. cmon!
Meg is my hero. I was 9 when I first heard "Fell in Love with a girl" and that song and mainly its drumming line made me feel alive. I was taken aback learning that it was a girl who was playing cuz it was the first time I ever saw a girl doing it and I knew I could do it too. Meg definitely made me fall in love with drumming.
there is no way you could recognize her if she played with a different band... well maybe you could, you would say wow this drummer is so armature, it must be meg white.
So glad Meg is being highlighted, she is the main reason I started playing the drums and I learned by watching vids of her and Jack. She was unapologetically herself and exactly what the band needed, I hope she knows how many people she has inspired and how many people think she’s badass ❤
Meg's drumming is so absolutely perfect for every song she plays on. She doesn't throw in a bunch of busy filler but plays absolutely the exact amount the song calls for. Her drumming is the frame that the song is built on. The silences are as important as the notes and she is master class at placing them. And as you point out, the notes she does play have so many interesting choices that just work in their song.
I don't drum. I can't play any instrument. But I know good rock when I hear it. And The White Stripes rocked hard. I"m so confused why anyone ever criticized her drumming....like seriously? Without Meg there would be NO WHITE STRIPES ! Imagine Meg being sick one day and so Jack hires the world's "best" drummer to replace her at a concert or studio session....would it have worked? Nope. No way. The magic is the two of them together. You can't quantify it, or understand it, or replicate it. It just is. And it was good. Thank you Meg, for picking up those sticks and banging along like no one else could have. You are a true artist. For every person who gave you a hard time on your drum playing, there are a zillion others who just loved it.
I think it's a good thing when musicians like her are in the mix. It shows that music is for everyone. You don't have to be a technical monster to make good music. I guarantee a bunch of kids picked up sticks because of her.
She IS technical, but in her own way. If your drumming cannot be replicated by drummers who are supposedly better than you, then I think you're pretty technical.
I was at that show! Jack played with two sets of strings strung on his guitar AT THE SAME TIME! Essentially turning his 6 strong to a 12. Quite possibly the greatest live performance of all time!!!!!!!
Meg's playing is proof of what Prince once said, "It's the space between the notes.... that's the good part". This dive into Meg's playing, especially the use of rims and other parts of the kit are essential to finding new ways to compliment a piece of music. Thanks for this! And, I'm gonna go play some White Stripes now!
Thank you for featuring a more simple drummer like her and showing that drumming isnt only about competition and craftsmanship but about music and expression. Very inspiring 🤠.
She takes cues from the vocals in ways that somehow remind me of Broadway songs. Just absolutely glued to the vocal melody in ways that push the emphasis there, so good
I played a White Stripes song with my band as a drummer. We were kinda reluctant but we needed an extra song for our setlist and didnt have time to learn anything harder. What I found was that any attemt to do more than what Meg did just killed the mood of the song. I added 1 extra fill and more kick hits, but I just couldn't see a logical reason to give it a different part than Meg wrote for it
I first saw The White Stripes before they broke open. I had no idea who they were. What I did know is that I was mesmerized. The entire set was a level of energy that translated perfectly to the audience. I was too young to know exactly what made them so magical, but those deep groves pulsed into my soul. When they blew up (like a month or two later) I got to hear everyone shit on Megs playing. It was so frustrating because I could not convey how uniquely impactful her drumming was live. I've seen thousands of bands play live, worked as a sound tech for over a decade, rubbed elbows with some of the biggest names in the industry, and yet nothing has ever compared to the impact that Jack and Meg left on me as a 14-year-old. If I ever had a doubt about what makes Meg the perfect drummer for Jack, it was seeing the Raconteurs live. That monumental energy I'd come to expect from Jack was no longer there. There was clearly something missing, even tho it was a full band.
Simplicity is one of the hardest things to achieve because most players minds try to over analyse things and their egos get in the way and they generally don’t have the absolute discipline for it. Meg was incredible because of what and how she played. The reason there’s a feature about her on Drumeo is because not many other drummers can play or think like she did. Absolute hand in glove playing with Jack’s guitar and vocal.
"Most players' minds try to over analyze things and their egos get in the way and they generally don’t have the absolute discipline for it." Has nothing to do with ego, bud. YOU may not like what they're playing because you prefer simpler drumming, but you're attributing things to drummers based on your own tastes. If you like simple, go for it. Simplicity is NOT hard to achieve. A drummer like Meg White got famous playing basic beats most people could play in a garage band. What you call discipline I call tolerance for boredom.
@@ShrinkRaptor you clearly did not understand, that's exactly what many musicians tend to do: overplay and overanalize and sometimes less is more rule really serves a composition better. I play drums myself and it used to happen to me too when I felt tempted to add some more fills, more complexed patterns and later had to stop to realize it would cause much more damage than do any better to a song. If all musicians played only complex stuff, music would be boring af.
Sometimes us drummers need to look past “chops” and just appreciate a rockin’ song. The White Stripes (specifically Meg) are case and point. Every track on every album is incredibly listenable. I do not skip songs when I’m listening. I cannot say that about many band’s entire discography, no matter how good the band may be.
@@RockandrollNegro Nice catch on the eggcorn. However, like many other eggcorns, the incorrect wording still make sense in the context in which it was used. Pedantic points scored to you nonetheless.
Chops are overrated. Composing is where it’s at. I’d rather someone write a cool song instead of showing off how fast they can do sweeps in some exotic scale.
Nothing in The White Stripes sounds regular or normal. Guitars, vocals, drums, production... all in the same place, very connected and unlike anything else out there. They are unique!
She's an easy target - I'm glad to hear he praises sung. The Stripes are all about the great art that comes from strict parameters, limitations or constraints, self-imposed or otherwise. Artists tend to thrive in such conditions, and suffer with total freedom.
Honestly trying to make songs so catchy and sounding simple is hard. Most techincal players get caught up in thinking that you have to show off and use technical prowess to get attention.
have you heard of a movement called OuLiPo, an artistic movement where deliberate constraints play a central part in how they go about doing their work.
I really think part of what made Meg so powerful was that she's the whole rhythm section, taking over the space the bass guitar would fill for a lot of songs. Rather than busy it up to fill that space, she chose the bass player route, where what you DON'T play is as important as what you DO.
@@OhanaFilms The problem is not everyone can hear those differences. I'm sure there are differences to be heard but as not a drummer and not specifically a White Stripes fan it sounds the same. Which is particularly meaningful when it comes to a band with a song as ubiquitous as seven nation army. 99% of people who hear the white stripes aren't specifically white stripes fans.
I saw TWS on their last tour when I was 17. They had played a marathon show at MSG the night before and due that as well as a weird energy with the crowd, Jack kinda had an off night but Meg really fucking held it down. I could not believe how loud two musicians could be in a big room and being there in person made me realize that Meg’s primal ferocity was the driver behind that energy (which is all the more impressive in hindsight knowing that she was battling with anxiety issues at the time). I get really emotional when I think back to how Meg’s artistic instincts are so unique and overlooked. I really hope she is doing well these days and that she knows she is loved by so many people.
I’ve always loved Meg’s playing. I’ve defended her complex simplicity dozens of times over the years. You know their music instantly from those beats. It still pulls you in, decades later, whether you want it to or not. It’s like the difference between Da Vinci and Pollock. Both are extremely celebrated artists with vastly different style and skill. You don’t need to be a traditionally trained master to be brilliant at your craft. Recognition is everything and nobody can deny that Meg has created a sound that most people can recognize within a couple of beats.
Thanks for the video. Her drumming gives me chills. I hold her in high regard with Danny Carey, Matt Cameron, Jesse Sprinkle, and other crazy-ass drummers. She has a real artistry to her drumming that helped change the way I personally write drums. She's rad! She's not playing prog-crazy, but her grooves, besides being so recognisable, are super integral to how the song sounds. She's a rad drummer and no one else would have come up with her recognisable, important-to-the-song beats. Meg, you changed things! Thanks!
i think she is also super brave.... i get so nervous before a gig and i only play to 8 people (with 6 being from the other bands and 2 their partners) i heard Meg had great anxiety before gigs too, which is understandable in her situation.... plus, the added pressure of over judgey people criticizing her drumming... ugh... so brave i think about her before every gig
In a world full of drummers ( and guitarists) that all sound the same, Meg White is a lesson in not imitating over edited, gridded, soulless music of the Spotify music era.
I think the debate between “genius” and “beginner” is a little ridiculous. I think, if anything, Meg White proves something a lot of people don’t want to admit - someone without much technical skill can still make amazing music.
@@baalaagaa lots of people think Jack White is a "bad guitarist" because his style isn't technical and the riffs are simple and raw. They're missing the point, and it's the exact same thing with Meg - what they do ~works~ and creates ~cool music~ and that's the important thing
I’m not a drummer, but I did a lot of choir and theater growing up, and the hardest stuff to do was the subtle and simple stuff. Holding one note for a whole song and still staying present in the moment is really hard and requires a lot of focus and commitment. When you’re acting in a scene, some of the hardest scenes are the ones with the subtle nuance conversations and expressions. There’s a need for everyone to be big, flashy, and loud all the time in what you do, so it’s really impressive to see someone keep it simple and commit to it.
Jack's playing is pretty messy at times too, but that's what makes them so great. Rawness is something that is misiing from most music these days, esp when everything is quantised to death. You can tell that even in the studio it's all eye contact and hanging on for dear life. The fact that it could all fall apart an any minute but doesn't makes it a big glorious mess
Meg is an extremely solid drummer. She keeps tempo like a metronome and has unbelievable control. She really has a great understanding of syncopation and timing.
@@CookieCurls but it works in a band where Jack was playing with a sludgy style on guitar as well. She didn't keep time in the academic sense, but she kept time with Jack
Jack has said in interviews that she was playing what he asked her to play, and is far more skilled than people think. Nothing wrong with playing for the song. Gets you a lot of gigs.
She never touched a drum kit before Jack seated her behind one. What's he going to say? "Yeah, I know she's rubbish, but she's my wife and she really enjoys herself"?
She was the designated driver is how I look at Meg. She drove the song kept it on the road and allowed Jack to be Jack. And as much energy as Jack had its her relentless driving beat that gives a song like Seven Nation Army it's pulse.
I played SNA in a small town cover band and the thing I found hardest to master was that light open hi hat chick on the quarter notes. Her energy and control of it was what makes her great, not technicality.
@rubevaughn you nailed it. Watch their performance of Goin' Back to Memphis in the Conan O'Brien's show. Jack freaks out and Meg keeps on driving. There are those people who tell us, that any drummer could play like her. The truth is, that she can play what she wants to play, and it sounds great. Most drummers want to play what they cannot play, and it sounds lame.
People usually interpret music by comparison, and that just doesn't work with The White Stripes. I consider them as more of an art experiment than as a traditional band. Comparing musicianship by the numbers just isn't fair with Meg, because their performance is just magic. It's the perfect bridge between old time blues and the garage rock of the 90's. The perfect blend of marketable and expressionistic, experimental music. I miss The White Stripes.
The White Stripes really were quite a weird band for a band that became so big. I miss them so much and as much as I love Jack White's other projects the Stripes still reign supreme in my eyes (Dead Weather come close though)
@maestrovonhuge9397 hell yeah, they never seem to get much recognition, but that might be because they never really tour. I would love to see them live
@@JayPhonomancer I remember first hearing them, getting the vinyl, playing it endlessly, enjoying, then when are they touring and being like 'you can't do this to people'.
Thank you for this - was getting about sick of hearing people diss Meg's skills and her undeniable contribution to what made that band "The White Stripes". It's so good to see someone singing her praises as she deserves more praise IMO. No she doesn't do what other drummers do - AND? She kicks ass!
I've been a drummer for 56 years. I've been into all of the usual great drummers you could list. Meg White in the context of this band is nothing less than perfect. Plus she is so cute.
As a guy who played drums for 20 years and who follows drummers like Weckl, Coleman, Donati, Sucherman, Borlai, Smith, etc. I find her to be amazingly musical. In my 60 years I've never once seen anyone pay for a concert that was just a drummer drumming. Turns out it really is about the music. When is the last time you saw Virgil Donati play even a single song with a simple 4/4 beat all the way through? Weckl? Coleman? You just don't see it. She is what all of us should aspire to. She's living her dream, playing great music and doing it her way. I love her.
Her grooves are so perfect for Jack’s guitar playing. I wouldn’t want to hear more technical drum parts on those songs. It would take away from the attitude and mood of them. Drummers have to have good feel first and foremost.
@@playlistmaker90125 You have a bead on the truth of this mediocre player...good to read your comments. I am a skilled drummer who would retire if I developed arthritis or any disability which would shrink my ability to the pedestrian level of meg white.
The drumming community deserves accurate and unbiased evaluations of drummers, allowing aspiring musicians to make informed decisions and pursue genuine excellence.
@@playlistmaker90125 you have spent time "stating facts" on so many of the comments here. You could just state your opinion and then move on but it is starting to feel like this is personal for you. Did Meg White run over your dog? Did she fuck your gf? Show us on a doll where she hurt you.
I was tremendously lucky to watch them live while touring Elephant. It still is one of my favourite live experiences to this day. It still feels incredible to me how such a minimalistic formation could sound so damn full. That day I was blown away by this approach.
Ball and Biscuits is brilliant . Thank you for this tribute to Meg White . Thank you for playing on the drums snd showing the sheet music . Incredible talent . Loved this .
We miss you Meg! You were the perfect drummer for The White Stripes in the same way that Ringo was the perfect drummer for The Beatles. And you inspired a lot of us, so the naysayers can howl all they want. Much love to you
@@joe.nail1 don't know anything about her and that's exactly what I thought this person was trying to convey. Seems like they were trying to make her sound more deep and alluring than she really is😂
@user-lk6wt7qz5v If she had idea or not doesn't matter. Her gut feeling created great music nonetheless. Artistry > technique. Something a lot of modern drummers lack.
@user-lk6wt7qz5v I'm not a pro musician, just an amateur guitar player and heavy rock listener. But I am a pro designer and graphic artist. When I was young and naive about the world, I was deep into pixel art illustration and thought technique was everything, thinking the purposeful placement of every pixel was what mattered the most. But with time I learned I was very wrong. The mastery of technique without artistic cleverness is meaningless. It's just boring self-masturbation that only some nerdy peers of your profession might find interesting. It's soulless work. Most of my work of that time, despite having good technique, is forgettable. What really impacts the world is artistry, and technique is just a tool. Even a complete layman can have great artistic skills and be more important to humanity, than a robotic professional with a perfect technique will ever be. In fact a lot of praised artists among the top of the world have really poor technique, and can only do things their way. And that's part of what makes them unique and praised.
@user-lk6wt7qz5v typical response of someone who is pissed off that someone who they consider inferior to them is more successful/famous than them. She's the embodiment of punk/garage-rock drumming to me. She's rock'n'roll as fuck.
She's always gotten way more crap than she deserves. I used to play drums for the longest time, and her kind of drumming always appealed to me. During an era where more and more drumming was just straight up pinned to the grid, her internal rhythm and "rushing" kicks just felt damn good. The way she slaps crashes around is also nice, often hitting on the 'uh' or 'e', gives a really sloshy sloppy feeling. I like her stuff a lot. She hits what she intends to hit when she intends to hit it and her beats are rad. Not sure I could ask for more.
@@playlistmaker90125 you got a real hardon for her dontcha, buddy? Let me guess... you're in either an "extreme" metal band or a rote af hardcore act that sounds like clanking pans. Cry more about it! I'm enjoying your comments. 😁
@@djwalkerfemaledj no, because she’s objectively bad. It’s actually the other way around. If she was a dude not one goddamn person would defend her. All this praise is just modern feminism and nothing else…
Thank you! I wouldn't have kept on playing guitar if not for Jack White, and I wouldn't have started playing drums if not for Meg White. The White Stripes were such an important band for a great amount of reasons, but mostly to me because they showed how little (people, chords, notes, ...) you needed to make something that was absolutely killer. And I know bands like Nirvana and others had a similar approach in the 80s/early 90s, but it's all about the generation you're part of I suppose, and I was at the right age to be blown away by Jack & Meg who helped people like me with 0 musical education feeling like, actually, music might not be a thing just for a certain elite. The White Stripes didn't need crazy drum solos or complicated drum parts, that's the whole point of the band - you might dislike the band, but they knew what they were doing, and they did it more than right. So thanks again Drumeo for doing this video - it means a lot to me, and somehow I hope, if she needs it, that it means a lot to Meg too.
I love Meg Whites playing! The first song I learnt on drums was Seven Nation Army, as it turns out. And yes, her ' less is more' approach, and not having to constantly fill space really works. Her persona behind the kit even looks different, which is a good thing. It's a shame some people detract from her contributions to the White Stripes... I for one am a fan!
Meg White is the Mondrian of drumming. Any jerk can look at it and say "Well I could do that. It's just lines and boxes." Without comprehending the craft and understanding it takes to create powerful art from simple forms.
Meg White is a compression lover's dream of a drummer. Her open playing style is perfect for a huge but dry in studio drum sound. It's like extreme Ringo!
Meg White is one of my favorite drummers. Laser beam focus on serving the song that could only result from a deep and profound understanding of the music and what the Stripes were trying to do artistically.
The energy and charge Meg puts into playing the drums is unique! His ability to adapt in synergy to jack rhythm changes is unparalleled. Meg is a great drummer 🥁 and I love her ! ❤️
Seven nation army is the first song I ever jammed to with my buddies, what a simple but powerful track, 13 year old me was so satisfied being able to play the whole thing, big props to Meg and Jack for this classic!
Meg is a phenomenal talent, this was wonderfully done, and it was a pleasure seeing her being celebrated for her contributions, rather than being torn down for not conforming to what was popular at the time.
@@JayPhonomancer she’s not a heavy drummer…Lars Ulrich is a heavy drummer. John Bonham is a heavy drummer. Mike Portnoy is a heavy drummer. Dave Lombardo is a heavy drummer…Meg White is not…
@playlistmaker90125 Bonham is possibly my favourite drummer ever. Generally, I am not a huge metal fan, so while I do love Metallica, I am generally not a huge fan of metal drumming. I don't particularly care for blast beats and all that shit. Danny Carey is amazingly talented, but I find a lot of Tool songs too ponderous to be enjoyable. I love Dale Crover and Greg Saunier, people who play small drumkits like that. You don't have to be metal to be heavy. I always thought of The Stripes as a minimalist garage-rock Led Zeppelin. Meg's rough and raw style is perfect for the Stripes and if you can't hear the heaviness in songs like The Big 3 Killed My Baby, Red Rain, Ball And Biscuit, Why Can't You be Nicer to Me, or Icky Thump then I don't know what to tell you. Its not metal, but its raw thunderous rock and roll
Meg White is an exceptional drummer! She is pure power, claw. His synergy with Jack in the adaptation to the change of rhythm is unique! Play the drums exactly as it should be for this genre of music. No one else transmits the same emotions to me as she does. Thank you Meg for what you have given us, and for the emotions you have made me feel! ❤️ 🥁
Meg is the perfect example of playing just enough to build the perfect foundation for the song. The White Stripes wouldn't have been what they were with overly complicated drum parts. The simplicity makes them accessable, and lets you groove.
Honestly, her playing may be incredibly simple but that just makes The White Stripes’ music as great as it is because her style has a certain power that may not have been there if she was a bit more technical
Yeah, there is some kind of raw energy that comes with this simplicity. Just like with AC/DC, many people claim anybody could play those simple songs. And yet, it's not that easy to find people that really nail those songs.
The first big concert I went was The White Stripes' show, in Brazil. They were already one of my favorite bands, but after that day..... I don't remember lots of things, 'cause I was a small person in the crowd... But I remember how I felt.... Impacted, my rib cage was vibrating with Meg White strength on drums.... They are my favorite band ever, and Meg inspired me in many aspects of my life.... I love her for all the legacy she generated for the girls at this world 😊
White Stripes is one of those rare examples where primitive simplicity works perfectly and any added complexity or technicality would only take away from the music. Meg was perfect for the part.
Most people here talking about simplicity, pretending they appreciate subtler features of music than the rest, like "bad drummer" is the new "good drummer", like going against intuition or mainstream is cooler. This is not about simplicity. The groove in Billie Jean is as simple, and this girl can't even dream of playing it decently. This is about playing consistent notes at consistent tempo. For all the snobs in the room, simple is not the same as easy.
It's not always about technicality and complexity in music. People who hate on Meg's drumming style are very close-minded. If we had only complicated, complex music, it would be boring af. Simplicity is as great and needed and ironically not that simple to achieve as it seems to many.
@@DeuceDeuceBravo Try it. Putting in the right note and taking out the right note are tricky, but the latter has even less room for error. John Williams is known to agonize. Rumor has it he tried every possible combination of five notes before coming up with the Close Encounters melody.
Older drummer here, I only recently listened to their stuff, Andi must say I love her playing, she only does what's necessary and holds back from tons of fills and rolls which becomes boring, but what she plays is often genius. I'm also learning to hold back and instead come up with interesting stuff,and its liberating and fun.
Ball And Biscuit is probably the one that impresses me the most. How many drummers would've instinctively kept steady 8ths on the hi-hat? It's just brilliant. 7:47
She kinda said "you don't need a million drum sounds to be good" without ever actually saying. I mean come on she could play 1 drum and 1 symbol and still probably make a banger of a track, absolute fucking LEGEND
Hell yeah! Good video! I love simplicity in rythm. When Meg is playing I can sence every beat, I can hear it loud and clear, feel it and enjoy it. Meg has never defend herself, she was the quiet one, but without her there is no White Stripes anymore! A genius band, a genius duo, and a GENIUS Meg!
Meg is a very emotional drummer and her drumming helps connect me more emotionally to the music of The White Stripes. That is not an easy thing to do. It might even be more difficult than being a technically superior drummer.
It's funny that Jack White has gone out and hired some of the best session musicians on the planet for his solo work, and yet none of it has reached the peak of the work he did with Meg.
Just like in writing or cooking, complexity and density can be beautiful. It can also be used to correct/hide mistakes and blend together notes/ideas/flavors to the point where many are unable to pick out the nuances that make the skill interesting. Many masters of their crafts use the idea of simplification to let the individual notes shine. Whether you enjoy Meg's music or not, there is no doubt that she is a master of her craft. There is nothing to hide behind. In the circle of learning, the master and the beginner use basic building blocks, in basic structures. It takes knowledge of the craft to see why one makes history and the other is forgotten.
The Genius of Daru Jones should be a sequel to this as Daru has toured with Jack since he started going solo. And I'm also excited for the genius of CHAAAAAD Smith! 😅
Just my perspective, but it always seemed like Jack White's guitar and voice were always the star of the show. And Meg White always used her drums to give him space to play and create grooves for him to build off of and sound anthemic and huge.
Meg's Drumming Style = 'I can do that' + 'Yeah, but you didn't' Say what you want, but The White Stripes were two people, and the two of them made good music.
I will always defend meg white to the hilt. She began my journey into learning the drums, you don't need a technical pallet of fills and licks to lay down the most iconic thrashy grooves that a crowd can rock out to. She's smart in her playing and not to be understated, no one sounds like her.
