a shitty drummer is a shitty drummer. their goal was simplicity and simplicity sounds like shit. if a buddy and i were to make a white stripes song, we'd get absolutely shit on critically, but if we dressed in red and white only and one was a female, fucking gold. you know what makes songs awesome? bass guitar. and a 6+piece drumkit. oh, well, at least they weren't the saviours of rock like the strokes.
