Clearly this is a band at the apex of its power.” UK periodical, The Times said that she “reduced the art of drumming to its primary components, bashing the snare and cymbal together on alternating beats with the bass drum in a way that recalled Moe Tucker of the Velvet Underground.” An NPR article gave high praise, saying “On the drums, Meg White smashed out carnal, visceral, raw, sometimes funny and always urgent stories that told of the human experience. Maybe that’s the thumping feeling that penetrates our pores and anchors our attention when we listen to The White Stripes. Maybe that’s why we ever cared about the band in the first place.” On the other hand, the Associated Press called her playing “maddeningly rudimentary.” The satirical news site The Onion once featured the headline “Meg White Drum Solo Maintains Steady Beat For 23 Minutes”.
