EPISODE 1:
"DRUMMING TECHNIQUE, DESIGN, AND DISCUSSION WITH DEAD WEATHER DRUMMER JACK WHITE"
DIRECTED BY JACK WHITE
LIVE NOW ON MODERN DRUMMER
The Dead Weather have released the first of four technique and instrument-based videos. This first episode features drummer Jack White demonstrating the details of his drum kit within the context of the band’s 2009 debut single, “Hang You From The Heavens.” Jack White designed the kit himself and the incredible team at Ludwig Drums attacked the build with vigor, creating a very unique trap kit. The White-directed video concludes with a live drumming performance of “Hang You From The Heavens," with an alternate drum beat to highlight the techniques discussed and showcase the band’s inner workings during live performances. The band and Third Man Records will release three more videos, each highlighting the member’s specific instruments and a different song from the band’s career, including tracks from their forthcoming album Dodge and Burn. Watch Jack’s video now on Modern Drummer.
Dodge and Burn - the band's third album and first full-length release in five years - is available for pre-order now, with all digital pre-orders receiving an instant grat download of "I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)." The track is also on sale now at digital retailers worldwide.

Love it! I second John Paul Jones, please more of Jack playing like this. Now I appreciate his drumming style even more and I feel so inspired. I can’t wait for more videos. Excellent job playing and directing Mr. I guess it’s okayer
I want to hear more about the drums!! What’s the ride size? It’s it Paiste?
Nice!!!
Fantastico!
Love it.
This video is where it’s at. Jack’s sense of humor and absolute honest love for the craft shining through. That’s why I’m a fan now and I’ll be a fan when I wake up tomorrow. Thanks for doing what you do, Jackie Boy!
Loved it! Can’t wait for the next three videos.
Being a drummer who is proud of his own skills, godDAMN his bassdrum foot is just OUTRAGEOUS. Love how his kit sounds—can we have maybe another half hour of him playing like this?
