Jack White responds after a writer called Meg White’s drumming a “tragedy'
, took to social media on Wednesday to defend her skills following the fierce debate online after a journalist called her drumming a “tragedy.”. “I appreciate other kinds of drummers who play differently, but it’s not my style or what works for this band,” she said. “I get [criticism] sometimes, and I go through periods where it really bothers me. But then I think about it, and I realize that this is what is really needed for this band. And I just try to have as much fun with it as possible.
Twelve years after White retired from music, the discourse around the her skills was dragged back out after writer Lachlan Markay who, when commenting on “Seven Nation Army,” tweeted earlier this week: “The tragedy of the White Stripes is how great they would’ve been with a half decent drummer. Yeah yeah I’ve heard all the ‘but it’s a carefully crafted sound mannnn!’ takes. I’m sorry Meg White was terrible.
On Wednesday, Jack White posted a photo of Meg White, her hair tossed over her face, at the drums. “To be born in another time, any era but our own would’ve been fine. 100 years from now, 1000 years from now, some other distant, different, time,” wrote the lead singer. “One without demons, cowards and vampires out for blood, one with the positive inspiration to foster what is good.
