That's probably why I'm so ready to assume that it's a gimmick. I don't think that Meg is a bad drummer really. She plays simpler stuff but if it helps make the music great, then that makes her a great drummer. Same type of situation as Lou Reed or Jimi Hendrix's making great music despite having a horrible voice.
