I agree with this. Unfortunately it was mostly because she’s a woman. But it’s also because she hits towards the end of the window of each beat. To a lot of people that makes it sound like she’s late or that her timing is wrong. But technically that’s not accurate. It’s the same problem Ringo Starr had. He got a lot of shit for the same thing, but he was also a good drummer.
ETA: I freakin’ love the stuff he made with the Raconteurs. Their first album was a bit hit or miss, but the next two have been great IMO. But definitely a different sound from the White Stripes.

I thought The Raconteurs were ok, but the Dead Weather really got my attention.
