Meg White
While Meg White is considered one of the “worst” or “most-untrained” drummers, she’s actually doing something pretty unique. Her lack of formal training has lent so much flavor to the White Stripes’ jangly, DIY blues-rock sound. Without Meg White’s pocket creativity and “childlike” beats, the White Stripes wouldn’t be as famous as they are today.
Tomas Haake
The long-standing percussionist in the Swedish metal group, Meshuggah, Tomas Haake, made his name known for playing 4/4 grooves with his off-hand and playing poly-rhythms with his dominant hand. Tomas is impressive due to his precision and unique ability to incorporate complex rhythms into “accessible” metal songs.
