The drummer's name is Daru Jones. Unique kit. Amazing energy. Love what he brings to Jack's music.

[@loadiem31]

absolutely KILLING it

[@ToluRobertson]

Man...I despise that kit setup, weird just to be weird is contrived IMO.

[@sh_tluck]

Do you know what that thing is mounted in the center of his kit? looks like the rim of a bass drum that was cut off.

[@grahamcrownshaw5092]

Class.

[@ElviraCondomine]

I saw him in London two days after this. He was eye wateringly good. One of the best gigs of my life, and I'm old. He is a gent and a true professional. It was a phone free gig. Your phone went into a mystical pouch you couldn't open. Everyone was fully engaged which added pure magic and intensity to the night. I wish all gigs were phone free.

[@TheIceyeddy]

I was in London on Wednesday 29th July and saw this dude with blue hair walking around the Chelsea area. Then I realised it was Jack White. I wanted to approach and tell him that I loved his music, but chickened out. Kind of wished I did approach him now lol. When and where abouts did he play in London?

[@ElviraCondomine]

He played the 27th and the 28th at the Apollo. How amazing that you saw him walking around Chelsea. You should have declared your love for him, I've heard he's kind to fans.

Jack and the drummer are taking this song to the next level. You can see the drummer pulling a bit more out of jacks playing. These 2 compliment each other perfect.

[@TJjjjjjjjjjj]

Yeah they have such a “call and answer” element to their playing. D-Jones is a phenomenal drummer and coupled with the dissonant notes/chords jack throws into his playing they create such a raw and sometimes jarring and exciting sound over what are great but simple melodies. I hope they keep putting music out together they rock

[@dennismohican599]

@@TJjjjjjjjjjj ala Jack and Meg, my god this is so good! Lmao I love this music, and the fact that he plays with a lot of ppl, which totally opens musical horizons! I think we've seen this in rock music since.. well prolly longer than i've been alive. But I'm think of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, compared to Band of Gypsys ya know? That's how i believe musical doors are opened, to new sounds and great music I think in a recent interview i watched with Jack, he said as much, in so many words! ;) Btw, this drummer, looks like he's about to beat the set into the ground! I thought for a second it was KRS-One! lmao! kidding.. great drumming! Dennis Music freak since the 60's! 61 years Austin, Tx

I have to say that Jack White and Prince are two of my favorite guitar players. Both of them have such unique sounds that you immediately know who they are when they start playing.

[@ZenEndurance]

I thought of Prince too. Just so mind blowing how good he was on guitar.

One of the best songs and guitar solos ever. Probably the most raw solo of all-time.
