The White Stripes Video That Took 1,300 Drum Hits to Make | 5K Day 336

5K EVERY DAY – Day #336

(Opening clip — the punchy first drum hit of “The Hardest Button to Button”)

On this date back in 2003, The White Stripes dropped one of the coolest music videos — The Hardest Button to Button.

(Clip — the iconic repeating drum pattern)

The whole video is built around this stop-motion technique:
every time Meg hits the bass drum,
the drum duplicates
again and again…
and again.

Over 1,300 real drum placements.
All done by hand. No CGI. No AI — just pure creativity and stubborn dedication.

And here’s a fun fact — Beck actually cameos in the video.
He shows up in a white suit,
hands Jack White a mysterious little box,
and then “poof” vanishes.

That’s what I love about The White Stripes —
one beat, one step, one rep at a time.
Stack the moments,
and the progress multiplies.

Day 336 — I ran.
