Meg White |
Meg White was born as Megan Martha White on December 10, 1974. She is an American drummer best known as one half of the Detroit rock duo The White Stripes, with her ex-husband Jack White.
Jack White has declared her to be the key component in the White Stripes' sound. In reference to her "primal" approach to drumming, she remarked, "That is my strength. A lot of drummers would feel weird about being that simplistic."
Meg White uses a red Ludwig drum kit with a red and white peppermint swirl on the resonant heads of the toms and bass drum.
On the Icky Thump tour the bass drum head design was switched to a button, and during the From the Basement: The White Stripes recordings it was switched to an image of Meg's hand holding an apple.
She also uses a pair of Paiste 14" Signature Medium Hi-Hats, a Paiste 19" Signature Power Crash, and a Paiste 22" 2002 Ride, as of 2006.
