Equipment
Meg White uses a red Ludwig drum kit with a red and white peppermint swirl on the resonant heads of the toms and bass drum.
On the Icky Thump tour, the bass drum head design was switched to a button; and, during the From the Basement: The White Stripes recordings, it was switched to an image of Meg's hand holding an apple (from the Get Behind Me Satan cover).
She also uses a pair of Paiste 14-inch (36 cm) Signature Medium Hi-Hats, a Paiste 19-inch (48 cm) Signature Power Crash, and a Paiste 22-inch (56 cm) 2002 Ride, as of 2006.
Meg's white Pearl Export bass drum complete with original peppermint-painted bass drum that she used with the band's first show in 1997 until 2002, and complete Pearly Queen outfit as featured in the photos for the Icky Thump album, is currently on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the "Women Who Rock" exhibition.
