JACKED UP ON
THE DRUMS

Jack White takes us on a guided tour of the components of his Dead Weather drumkit in this, the first of four technique- and instrument-based videos, one from each of the band members, which will appear during the coming weeks. Each clip will focus on a particular song from the group’s catalog; White does his demo within the context of the band’s 2009 debut single, “Hang You From the Heavens.” Tracks from the forthcoming Dead Weather album, Dodge and Burn (Third Man/ADA, 9/25), will be included in the series.

White worked directly with Ludwig to design the kit featured in this video, which he directed. The 10-minute clip concludes with a live band performance of “Hang You From the Heavens” featuring an alternate drum beat, highlighting the techniques White discusses earlier in the video, and showcasing the band’s inner workings during live performances.

The video originally appeared on the Modern Drummer site, as did much of the above verbiage, which we copped for the occasion.
