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".

We miss you Karen. Your beautiful smile, your warm personality, and your amazing God given talent that we were fortunate enough to see on our tv all the time when we were children.
Wow. I never ever knew Karen Carpenter had that kind of drumming talent. We all know what a great singer she was, but not this... I have no idea how I never knew this.
I've read that she was way more happier behind the drums than only being the lead singer upfront. Now I can see why.
Who would have thought that Voice of hers was not only a bless but a curse also. She would have earned her fame by being a fine drummer alone. Supposedly still kicking ass with her many talents. Such a pity...
This is such a cool video - thank you for making it. I always thought Karen just played basic beats but after watching this, I see she played back beats, major bass work, and ALL percussion - not just the kit ... all while she's singing! Very difficult to do. She's inspired me to start singing while I play. This was FUN to watch - thanks again!!!
