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!

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...

when she's in the green clothes, she's happy to play drums but look she's so skinny, I feel so sorry for her,

It's called 'Piano Picker', written by Randy Edelman and is sung and improvised a bit by Richard Carpenter. This version appears on the 1976 'Live at the Palladium' album.
