    Maybe drummer Meg White isn't quiet, but instead radical in the defiant template she set for how to be a famous person who makes no apologies for letting the work speak for itself.https://n.pr/2xwFQFn

        The essence of rock and roll isn’t about virtuosity. When did so many of us forget that?

        She's also one of the worst drummers ever to be in a commercially successful rock band. Painfully bad to listen to. That's not a knock on female drummers. I can name plenty of others I am a fan of.

        Jesus. Her whole thing was simplicity and lack of talent. It worked with Jack for sure. But I’m not sure heaping praise on her over drummers that have elevated their art to a higher level makes sense. 🤔

        There are plenty of professional musicians who can’t read sheet music, it doesn’t really make them less of a musician. If you want to get technical about it, there’s plenty of composers that play music for Music theory’s sake if that’s your thing.
