This is a video showcasing Karen Carpenter's undeniable talents as a drummer. For those who aren't aware of Karen's involvement with the drums, let it be known that they were her first passion and came before she began her career as a singer. Karen's drumming can be heard on many tracks on several Carpenters albums. What's also most notable about Karen is that she sang and drummed simultaneously... her singing never hindered her drumming, and vice versa... she never ever hit a sour note or missed a beat. An extremely small amount of people can profess to having such a talent. "She was a 5'4 tornado, pair of drumsticks in her hand".Visit http://www.GoCarpenters.com to help induct the Carpenters into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

Women percussionists are not given the credit they deserve- Karen Carpenter, Sheila E just to name a few.

it's too bad that their agent felt that Karen was to "fat" and that's what started her downhill slide. she should've stood her ground and stayed behind the drums... I believe she would've still been alive today!

Wrong, it was Anorexia. It weakened her heart.

levon helm said it was easier to sing while playing drums , because " you knew where the holes were" .

I had never seen her playing and always heard jokes about her, but now I can see she was an excellent player.

I'm quite sure Phil is a technically more proficient drummer than Karen ever was,but he's had a lot more time at it.

She died in 1983 of ANOREXIA NERVOSA.

You're right... it's not easy to sing while you play drums at the same time... |
