Megan Martha White (born December 10, 1974) is a retired American musician who achieved international fame as the drummer of the rock duothe White Stripes. White typically performed backing vocals for the band but occasionally sang lead, including in the song "In the Cold, Cold Night".
White was born inGrosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, and worked as a chef after finishing high school. She metJack White in the 1990s, and the two married in 1996. She began playing the drums in 1997 and formed the White Stripes with Jack that year. They divorced in 2000, but continued performing at her insistence and publicly presented themselves as siblings. The band's 2001 breakthrough album,White Blood Cells, brought them international fame. This, along with the band'sthree subsequent albums released throughout the decade, established White as a key artist of the 2000sgarage rock revival.
Outside of music, White pursued acting, appearing in the 2003 filmCoffee and Cigarettes and in a2006 episode ofThe Simpsons, and a short modeling career. While the band were on tour in support of their 2007 album,Icky Thump, she suffered a bout of acute anxiety, leading to a cancellation of the remaining tour dates. During the interim, she appeared at aRaconteurs concert and in the 2009 documentaryUnder Great White Northern Lights. She was also married to Jackson Smith from 2009 to 2013. After alengthy hiatus, the White Stripes disbanded in 2011 and White ceased performing. Her last media appearance was in 2009, and she has not been active in the industry since.
White's playing style, which has been called "minimalistic" and "primal", initially polarized critics but has earned retrospective praise and continues to be discussed. She is also noted for her few interviews and her elusive media image, calling herself "veryshy" and reclusive. With the White Stripes, she won sixGrammy Awards from twelve nominations. In 2015,Rolling Stone included her on their "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time" list. In 2025, she wasinducted into theRock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the White Stripes.
Megan Martha White was born inGrosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, on December 10, 1974[1] to parents Catherine and Walter Hackett White Jr.[2][3] She has an older sister, Heather. She was not brought up in any religion and described growing up as "pretty normal".[4][5] White attendedGrosse Pointe North High School.[6] After graduating, she chose not to go to college and instead pursue a career as a chef.[7]
White worked at Memphis Smoke, a restaurant in downtownRoyal Oak, where she met budding musicianJack Gillis, a fellow high school senior from a Detroit neighborhood known as Mexicantown.[7] They formed a relationship and frequented the coffee shops, local music venues, and record stores of the area.[8] They married on September 21, 1996,[9] with Jack taking her last name. They divorced on March 24, 2000.[10]
In 1997 White began learning to play the drums using Jack's drumkit.[7][11][12] Jack recalled that playing with White was "liberating and refreshing", opening up "something" within him.[13] The two then formedthe White Stripes, where they stuck to certain motifs: They presented themselves as siblings to an unknowing public,[14][15] and kept to a monochromatic theme, dressing only in red, white, and black.[16][17] They played their first gig at the Gold Dollar in Detroit,[18][19] and achieved popularity in Michigan'sundergroundgarage rock scene,[16][7][20] opening for and playing with established local bands such asBantam Rooster andthe Dirtbombs, among others.[21][7] In 1998, they were approached by Dave Buick of the Detroit-basedindependent record labelItaly Records, who offered to pay for their debut single. "Let's Shake Hands" was then released in February 1998.[22][23]

In 1999, the band signed with the California-based labelSympathy for the Record Industry, and released theirself-titled debut album.[17]AllMusic said that White's drumming "balances out thefretwork and the fretting with methodical, spare, and boomingcymbal,bass drum, andsnare".[24] Following their divorce in 2000, White insisted that they keep the band going.[10][25] Their second album,De Stijl, was released that same year.[26]Rolling Stone's Jenny Eliscu praised that White's drumming, saying it "proves that you don't need bombast to make a blues explosion".[27] It became asleeper hit, after the White Stripes gained popularity in 2002, reaching 38 onBillboard'sIndependent Albums chart in 2002.[28]
The White Stripes rose to widespread recognition in 2001 with the release of their albumWhite Blood Cells. Meg shared vocal duties with Jack on the tracks "Hotel Yorba" and "This Protector", and also on theLoretta Lynn cover "Rated X", featured as theB-side to "Hotel Yorba".[29]White Blood Cells would have amajor label re-release withV2 Records in 2002, which brought them to the forefront of the garage rock revival and made them one of the most acclaimed bands of the year.[30][7][15] It was their last album to be released with the "Sympathy for the Record Industry". Chris Deville ofStereogum praised White for bashing "the bejesus out of her drums" and called the pair "too compelling for the rest of the world to ignore".[31] The album included the groundbreaking single "Fell in Love with a Girl", which won them three awards at the2002 MTV Video Music Awards.[32] In 2002, the band performed onSaturday Night Live.[33]
The White Stripes released their fourth studio album,Elephant, through V2 Records andXL Recordings in 2003.[17] The album was acclaimed, and considered by AllMusic to be the band's best work.[34] Their continued success helped establish Meg and Jack White as key figures of 2000s rock, andElephant, along withWhite Blood Cells, were included on numerous editions ofRolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list.[35][36] AllMusic writers described White's drumming onElephant as "hypnotic" and "explosively minimal", and Bram Teltelman ofBillboard characterized it as "simple but effective".[37][38][39]Elephant's first single, "Seven Nation Army", became the band's signature song and asports anthem.[17] The album's third single, "The Hardest Button to Button", features what critics considered to be some of Meg's best drumming.[40] Additionally, the track "In the Cold, Cold Night" features Meg singing lead for the first time.[41] Tom Breihan ofStereogum described her voice as "magnetic",[42] and Andrew Katchen withBillboard wrote that she sounded "delicate and sweet".[43]The Guardian deemed the songs "In the Cold, Cold Night" and "Seven Nation Army" to be among the greatest songs made by the band.[40] The album won aGrammy Award forBest Alternative Music Album and "Seven Nation Army" won the Grammy forBest Rock Song.[44]
White made her film debut appearing with Jack inJim Jarmusch's 2003 filmCoffee and Cigarettes.[45] They star in the segment "Jack Shows Meg HisTesla Coil", which expands onNikola Tesla and White Stripes motifs such as childhood innocence.[46] That same year, she began appearing onLate Night with Conan O'Brien as a guest host and performer.[47] In 2004, she starred in the band's first music filmUnder Blackpool Lights, which was shot entirely onsuper 8 film.[48][49] Jamie Russell ofBBC described her performance as "orgasmically pounding the drums" and "exhilarating".[50] White appears on the cover ofWhirlwind Heat's single "Pink" (2004) wearing abunny costume; the photo was taken while the White Stripes and Whirlwind Heat toured together in Japan.[51] Also in 2004, White appeared in an episode ofPancake Mountain and playedLittle Red Riding Hood in the music video for "Cha Cha Twist" bythe Detroit Cobras.[52][53]

The White Stripes's fifth albumGet Behind Me Satan saw the pairexperimenting on their sound, with White usingpercussion bells,maracas andtambourines. Critically acclaimed, it was released in 2005 and won the band their second Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.[54] She performed lead vocals on "Passive Manipulation", for whichRob Sheffield ofRolling Stone described her vocals as "chilling"[55] while Matthew Murphy ofPitchfork thought that the song "begs the gentle suggestion that Meg not be allowed to sing lead".[56] She appears in the documentaryThe Fearless Freaks (2005), which chronicles the rock bandthe Flaming Lips.[57] She performed with the White Stripes in the 2005 pilot episode ofFrom the Basement.[58]
White modeled forMarc Jacobs' 2006 Spring line.[59] Two of her pictures appeared in the March 2006 issue ofELLE. She was chosen byBob Odenkirk to compose a drum theme forDax Shepard's character in the 2006 filmLet's Go to Prison; against Odenkirk's wishes however, the studio removed it from the film.[60][61] The White Stripes guest starred onThe Simpsons in an episode titled "Jazzy and the Pussycats", which first aired on September 17, 2006.[62] White had previously expressed interest in aSimpsons role, saying: "A guest appearance would be amazing. I wouldn't want to be in aLisa episode. They're kind of boring. Maybe aHomer one would be better."[63][64]
The White Stripes released their sixth and final album,Icky Thump, in 2007. Winning the Grammys for Best Alternative Music Album andBest Rock Song,[65] the album was praised by the critics and saw the band returning to styles present on their first album.[66] White spoke on thebagpipe-heavy track "St. Andrew (This Battle Is in the Air)" and provided backing vocals across the album.[67][68]
In the summer of 2007, before a show inSouthaven, Mississippi,Ben Blackwell (Jack's nephew and the group's archivist) recalls that Meg approached him and said: "This is the last White Stripes show". He asked if she meant of the tour, but she responded: "No. I think this is the last show, period."[69][70] On September 11, 2007, the White Stripes announced via their website that they were canceling 18 tour dates due to White'sacute anxiety.[71][72] The following day, the duo canceled the remainder of their 2007 UK tour dates as well.[73] Jack worked with other artists in the meantime, but Meg remained largely out of the public eye, though she participated in releasing limited-editionHolga cameras stylized around the White Stripes in February 2008,[74] and appeared briefly onstage during an encore set of a Detroit show with one of Jack's bands, theRaconteurs, in June 2008.[75][76] In an interview withMusic Radar, Jack explained that Meg's acute anxiety had been due to the combination of a very short pre-tour rehearsal time—that was further reduced by the birth of his son—and a hectic, multi-continental touring schedule. He explained: "I just came from a Raconteurs tour and went right into that, so I was already full-speed. Meg had come from a dead-halt for a year and went right back into that madness."[77]
Jack revealed the band's plan to release a seventh album by the summer of 2009.[78][79] On February 20, 2009—and on the final episode ofLate Night with Conan O'Brien—the band made their first, and what would be their last, live appearance after the cancellation of their tours, performing the song "We're Going to Be Friends".[80][81] A documentary about their Canadian tour—titledThe White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights—premiered at theToronto International Film Festival on September 18, 2009.[82][83][84] Directed by Emmett Malloy, the film documents the band's summer 2007 tour across Canada and contains live concert and off-stage footage.[85][86] Bill Bradley forVanity Fair opined that it was "impossible" not to see Meg as "road-weary and worn-out" at the end of the film.[87] White appeared with Jack in the 2009 documentaryIt Might Get Loud.[88]
A second feature titledUnder Nova Scotian Lights was prepared for the DVD release. On February 2, 2011, the band reported on their official website that they were disbanding. Their statement said it was not due to health issues or artistic differences, but "mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band".[89] White has not been active in the industry since.[90]

Throughout her tenure with the White Stripes, White extensively used theLudwig Classic Maple kit withPaiste cymbals.[91] From their early years toGet Behind Me Satan, the resonantheads of the toms andbass drum almost exclusively featuredpeppermint swirls.[92][93][94] The idea to do so came from Jack, when he and Meg noticed a bag of peppermint candy in a drugstore, and Jack said "That should be painted on your bass drum because you've been drumming like a little kid".[95] Her love of the candy inspired many of the White Stripes' artistic schemes,[96][97] becoming signature in her kit and appearing in several live shows and music videos.[94]
While recordingFrom the Basement: The White Stripes, the design on the bass drum was switched to an image of her hand holding the apple from theGet Behind Me Satan cover. Beginning in 2006, White used a pair of Paiste 14" Signature Medium Hi-Hats, a 19" Signature Power Crash, and a 22" 2002 Ride.[11][92] On theIcky Thump tour, the bass drum head design was switched to a button inspired by thePearlies clothing Jack and Meg wore for the album cover. She also usedRemo and Ludwig drumheads, various percussion instruments andVater drumsticks.[98]
"I don't want to know about my biggest idols. I don't want to read their autobiographies, I don't want to find out what they're really like."
White's musical influences are wide and varied.Bob Dylan is her favorite artist and primary inspiration.[99] Other inspirations are the Detroitprotopunk bands likethe MC5 andthe Stooges, the blues musiciansSon House,Blind Willie McTell andRobert Johnson, the rock groupsthe Cramps andthe Velvet Underground, and the early Los Angeles punk blues bandthe Gun Club.[100] She is also a fan of thetraditional country artistsHank Williams[13] andLoretta Lynn.[101][102] Some inspirations for her drumming style include Peggy O'Neill ofThe Gories andMoe Tucker of the Velvet Underground, the latter of whom was often compared to White by music critics.[103][20]
Having formed in Detroit's garage rock scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s, White's contemporaries included bands such asthe Von Bondies,the Dirtbombs, andthe Detroit Cobras. She would later collaborate with them and other Detroit-based bands for the compilation albumSympathetic Sounds of Detroit, recorded in Jack's living room.[7]
White's pre-show warm up included "whiskey andRed Bull."[92] Herdrum beats and technique have been analyzed and documented by many critics and musicians. In "Seven Nation Army", White plays a drivingquarter note groove meant to mimic a heartbeat and punctuate the guitar. The opening makes extensive use of the bass drum,hi-hat, andfloor tom. Thesnare drum is introduced into the pre-chorus and carries into the chorus with acrash cymbal.[93] In "Fell in Love With a Girl", White plays a "hyper, stuttering rock beat" with a skipped snare drum and prominent crash cymbals.[104]
In reference to her "primal" approach to drumming,[21] White remarked: "That is my strength. A lot of drummers would feel weird about being that simplistic." Furthermore, saying that she respects other drumming techniques, but concludes that her style suits the band best. When her technique is criticized, which "really bothers her", she reminds herself that her technique is important for the band and tries to take enjoyment from her work.[92] Jack lauded her style as the band's best element, and he couldn't imagine recording with anybody other than White, "because it would have been too complicated... It was my doorway to playing the blues".[13]
Early reviews of White's minimalistic approach to drumming were positive.[25] Dan Kilian and Ryan Schreiber ofPitchfork said in 2001 that "Meg White's kit is bashed with such force you'd imagine her as some kind ofincredible hulk [sic], though in photos, she appears the prototypical indie girl—waifish, with pigtails and a nasty smirk. Yet she whips all of her 98 pounds into a tornadic fury likeE. Honda's hundred-hand slap."[105] After the White Stripes' breakthrough in 2001, UK newspaperThe Times said that White "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 recalledMoe Tucker ofthe Velvet Underground."[20] In a 2002The Washington Post article analyzing the band's style, described White's drumming as "a surprisingly full sound, loud and raucous—like theCarpenters on steroids".[95] Of a 2002 concert inCleveland, Ohio,Chuck Klosterman said: "[Meg] never grimaced and didn't appear to sweat; yet somehow her drums sounded like a herd ofClydesdales falling out of the sky, one after another. Clearly this is a band at the apex of its power".[106]The New York Times'sKelefa Sanneh called her drumming "more sophisticated" than people realize in 2007. "She refuses to imitate a metronome, refuses to flatten the songs by making them conform to a steady pulse. Instead she seems to hear the music the way Mr. White does: as a series of phrases, each with its own shape and tempo."[107]

As the White Stripes rose to fame, there was criticism and mockery of her performances and technique.[11][15] While reviewing the band's second album in 2002, William Bowers ofPitchfork wrote, "Hooray for civilization, I didn't talk covetously about Meg's bod!".[108] While Kilian and Schreiber atPitchfork praised White's drumming, Brent DiCrescenzo called it "pancake-handed" and "sloppy" in 2003;[109]Associated Press called White's playing "maddeningly rudimentary" in 2003.[110] The satirical news siteThe Onion featured the 2007 headline "Meg White Drum Solo Maintains Steady Beat For 23 Minutes".[111] In a review of their 2007Madison Square Garden performance, a writer forVulture said of her singing: "Oh, God, it was awful ... Meg, great as she looks onstage, is pure amateur hour".[112] The same publication released an article following the band's September hiatus in 2007, where they poked fun at the drummer and jokingly listed "Ten Things That Probably Stressed Out Meg White".[113] Jack considered her drumming "the best part of this band", said that negative reviews and comments were sexist,[13] and called Meg a "strong female presence in rock and roll".[114]
In 2016, the satirical siteNevada County Scooper published a hoax article claiming that White would replaceNeil Peart in the Canadian rock bandRush.[115] In March 2023,National Review magazine published an article celebrating the 20 year anniversary of "Seven Nation Army".[116] In response to a tweet concerning the article on Twitter, journalist Lachlan Markay wrote: "The tragedy of the White Stripes is how great they would've been with a half decent drummer. […] I'm sorry Meg White was terrible and no band is better for having shitty percussion."[117][118] The tweet wentviral, and Jack, along with several musicians and critics, came to her defense.[119] Markay later deleted his comments, calling it "an over-the-top take" and apologizing.[120] As a result, White trended that same month.[117][121][120] White did not respond to the controversy.
In retrospect, White has largely been praised for her "primal" style,[122] and David Renshaw ofThe Guardian admitted she "got a raw deal during her White Stripes days."[123] In a 2024Euronews article, Jonny Walfisz likened White toRingo Starr ofthe Beatles, calling her a "sheer genius of a drummer" who, like Starr, had a deceptively simple style which showed creativity through minimalism to best support each song.[124] Erica Banas atWRAT called her "Rock's Favorite Recluse" in 2024, quipping that "No other drummer can rattle a rearview mirror quite like Meg White".[125] Also in 2024, writers atConsequence of Sound concluded her "minimalistic style was the perfect counter to Jack's shredding, a primal dynamic that gave their tunes that definitive garage stomp. [...] Meg provided the feel."[126] In 2025, while profiling the White Stripes, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame wrote, "Meg's drumming is raw, powerful, and perfectly suited to the band's sound – embracing a primal, minimalist approach that gives the music its pulse and urgency, her pounding beats are the backbone of the band’s signature style."[127]
White is a key figure in thegarage rock revival of the 2000s.[128] She is one of the most discussed drummers in rock music, and her style continues to be evaluated after her retirement. TheSchool of Rock company studied female drummers of several decades and, while acknowledging White's contemporary criticism, praised her abilities and called her "iconic".[129] Brandon Toews ofDrumeo wrote that her drum beats were "full of choices most drummers wouldn't make, and that's why she's such a unique player."[93]The New York Times's Lindsay Zoladz titled her style "quintessentially rock 'n' roll" and said that "She excels at withholding, creating negative space and subverting expectation."[130] On the enduring discussion of White's drumming, Chris Willman ofVariety magazine observed that, in the aftermath of her departure from the music industry, White "seems to have been absorbed into rock orthodoxy as a great drummer by near-acclamation" and is more recognized compared to her active years.[131]MusicRadar's Stuart Williams declared "Nothing starts an argument faster than questioning Meg White's drumming abilities."[132]
White's reclusive nature and strict maintenance of her privacy has also been the subject of significant commentary;[133][134] as of 2025, she has not made any public appearances since 2009.[135] Zoladz championed her as a "feminist hero" and an "icon for introverts".[130]Ben Sisario, also ofThe New York Times, said she "has become one the great recluses of 21st-centurypop".[136] Andy Greene ofRolling Stone observed White "was a reluctant star even in the early days of the White Stripes." He also believes that White likely has no interest in returning to the public eye, even for a potential White Stripes reunion, and emphasized that "Meg White doesn't owe us anything."[135] For the same publication, Angie Mortoccio believed "Meg's decision not to weigh in on ridiculous arguments about her talent only make her more awesome, especially in the age of social media, when younger artists regularly reply to criticism in sometimes ill-advised ways."[137] Her life and career have been further analyzed by multiple publications.[138][139][140]

Several musicians have praised White.[119] Jack said: "People should write books about Meg White. To me she's likeHank Williams orJimi Hendrix. They are one in a billion. One in a billion."[103]Dave Grohl ofFoo Fighters and previouslyNirvana stated in an interview that White is "one of my favorite fucking drummers of all time. Like, nobody fucking plays the drums like that."[141][142]Tom Morello ofRage Against the Machine wrote in anInstagram post that White "has style and swag and personality and oomph and taste and awesomeness that's off the charts and a vibe that's untouchable".[143][144]Nandi Bushell has written that the White Stripes "moved me at 5 years old to want to play the drums and still move me today!"[145][146]Tré Cool ofGreen Day called Meg one of his favorite drummers.[147]Olivia Rodrigo andMargo Price have also been influenced by her.[130]
In the filmSchool of Rock (2003), the character Freddy Jones (Kevin Clark) declares that White "can't drum!" The claim is refuted by bass player Katie (Rivkah Reyes) who says "At least she has rhythm."[148] MusiciansTracey Thorn andWanda Jackson have covered the song "In the Cold, Cold Night" as tributes.[149][150] On his albumGossip in the Grain (2008),Ray LaMontagne wrote and recorded a song named after White. He performed it at the 2014Santa Barbara Bowl.[151][152]
White's Pearl Export bass drum—complete with original peppermint-painted bass drum that she used with the band's first show—and thePearly Queen outfit she wore in the photos for theIcky Thump album, were featured in theRock and Roll Hall of Fame "Women Who Rock" exhibition in 2011.[153] The outfit was again featured in theclass of 2025 exhibit after her induction that year.[154]
White married Jack White in 1996, and they divorced in 2000.[10][9] In May 2009, she married guitarist Jackson Smith, the son of musiciansPatti Smith andFred "Sonic" Smith, in a small ceremony in Jack's backyard inNashville, Tennessee. They divorced in July 2013.[155][156] Since 2014, White has lived in Detroit.[157]
White suffers fromacute anxiety, and has described herself as "very shy".[13] She toldRolling Stone in 2005 that "the more you talk, the fewer people listen".[158] She said in 2006 that she "always kind of lived in her own world" and "never really cared about all the things that other people cared about", for example public recognition.[159] She toldNylon in 2007 that for her, being recognized in public "is like if your boss came every morning and tapped you on the head to wake you up, it's like, not now."[160] Jack said in a 2025 interview withMojo that "For her to sit down behind the drum kit is insane. But then to get on stage and sing into a microphone? Are you kidding me? It was unbelievable, a miracle, a blessing from above, just a beautiful, beautiful thing."[103]
In March 2003, one month before the release ofElephant, White broke her wrist while inNew York. As a result, the band postponed their promotional work for the album. She returned to performing in April 2003.[161]
In September 2007, asex tape falsely claiming to star White began to circulate the internet and somemedia tabloids.[162] A spokesperson of XL confirmed it was "definitely not Meg." They additionally stated, "We as a label believe some people have a very twisted sense of humour and this prank is in particularly bad taste".[163]
In January 2009, White donated her last Ludwig kit to the Jim Shaw Rock 'N' Roll Benefit, an auction to raise money for the Detroit musician who was suffering from cancer.[164][94]
During the2016 United States presidential election, White made a joint statement with Jack criticizingDonald Trump after "Seven Nation Army" appeared in his campaign without their consent.[165] After the Trump campaign used the song again in the2024 United States presidential election, she and Jack filed acopyright infringement lawsuit in September 2024.[166][167] The lawsuit was dropped in November 2024.[168]
With the White Stripes, White sold over 5 million albums.[169] She receivedseveral accolades with the band, which includes winning oneBrit Award from six nominations and winning sixGrammy Awards from eleven nominations; she also briefly held aGuinness World Record with Jack in 2009.[170] As a member of the White Stripes, she was nominated for theRock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023 andinducted in 2025;[171][172] she is the third female drummer to be inducted.[173]
White has appeared on several listicles of influential drummers.[138] She ranked 81st onVH1's "Top 100 Greatest Women in Music" (2012),[174] 94th onRolling Stone's "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time" (2016),[175] 12th onNME's "32 of the Best Drummers to Grace Rock 'n' Roll" (2018),[176] 30th onMusicRadar's "The 30 Greatest Drummers of All Time" (2021),[177] 97th onUniversal Music Group's "100 Best Drummers" (2022),[178] 9th onAmerican Songwriter's "Top 10 Most Influential Rock Drummers" (2023),[179] and 88th onConsequence of Sound's "100 Best Drummers of All Time" (2024).[126]
