Shoot. She could have been in my band anytime! Heck, I'd quit my band to go be in hers!

Karen Carpenter's drumming style was very "traditionalist" from a pre-rock point of view of popular music. Jazz drumming seemed to be the primary influence on her drumming style, which worked well because the Carpenters' pop arrangements were closer to jazz than they were to rock. I don't know if Karen would have been comfortable doing the sort of "power drumming" associate with hard rock, but it generally wasn't necessary for the Carpenters' recordings.

She might still be alive if she'd been left to play the drums at the back instead of being forced out to the front to sing... but the world would have been deprivd of one of the greatest female voices ever.
