Excerpt from Your All American College Show. Recorded Live on 6/22/1968. Karen always preferred to be known as a drummer who sings, thus the title. She is 18 years old here. Enjoy!

@@pureheaven8647 It’s farrrr easier if you started playing drums and singing at the same time. Many people who seem like naturals at it started both at the same time. I know I’m saying the obvious, all you do naturally is separate your breathing from certain body actions. A lot of players, like guitar players like me, hold their breathe in specific ways when they play. And they reinforce that over time. People who do breathe work at the same time as playing, separate the two. And some people just have the pure luck of doing that when they were young. Jimi Hendrix said he sang because everyone else was singing. Who knows the reasons, but people who sing and play the same time don’t have a superpower, it’s more that others don’t realize the abilities they have if they change their perception of their normal body engagement.

the only "criticism" I've seen of her drumming is that she didn't play very loudly... which, having worked with loud male rock drummers for much of my life, is a GOOD THING. she was tiny, and she played with finness, not power (although she hit hard, there just wasn't the body weight behind it), and I prefer that any day of the week.

The famous beat in drum and bass music actually originated from the drum break on James Brown's "Funky Drummer". A lot of early EDM producers sampled it in their own music, and when they sped it up it would also raise the pitch, creating the famous fast, high pitched drum beat we know today

As Carpenters manager, I'd've made sure Karen stayed on those drums for the entirety of her entire career. People complained that they couldn't properly see her onstage, or that she wasn't acting "ladylike." Please! We had enough female singers like Barbra and Diana who "just" stood there with the microphone...Karen had two legs up on them by being an instrumentalist, an actual musician. That should have been CELEBRATED, not DENIGRATED. Rest In Power, Karen. 🤍

She should have never been put in the spotlight at all. She had Anorexia, she died because of it, she just wanted to play Drums in the background but her brother and others pressured her to take the spotlight (because of how good of a singer she was) where all eyes would be on her. That made her condition way worse which resulted in her death at a tragically young age.

I recall when they first hit the music scene. I was a young teen guitarist, heavy into Chicago, BS&T, Santana, etc.....but the second a Carpenter song came on the air, you couldn't turn it off. It was just perfection. I didn't even know she played drums until they got their first tv appearance as The Carpenters. I was stunned again. It was very unusual for a female to be a top flight drummer AND a world class vocalist all in one. Richard was the genius that knew how to arrange everything to show off her talents.

she’s mesmerizing. i saw a video earlier today of her on instagram and it hasn’t left my mind since. after i saw comments talking about her struggle, her suffering, and her untimely death, it hits even harder. had to come here to see the full thing for myself because the single clip of her solo wasn’t enough

Incredible. She should be inducted into the Drummer Hall of Fame for being one of the greatest drummer-singers, alongside Levon Helm, Don Henley, and the like.

This breaks my heart. I started playing drums recently. As a beginner, I can see how incredibly quickly she picked up the drums and I can see how much she LOVED it and LIVED for it. She was meant to play drums. But they forced her to sing. Yes, she had one of the most gorgeous voices of the 1900s, but she perhaps died for it. How much better would she - an artist - have done if they had let her play the thing she as MOST talented at AND loved the most - playing the drums. I can only hope to be as good as she is here after playing for maybe 5-6 years, and she had playing for I think maybe 2 or 3 years at this point PLUS singing at the same time. She was a genius.

Everyone in the band is amazing in his own way. And it took me so many times too watch that ab entire TV studio with audience watched and heard and nobody might have the foggiest idea about. How should anyone? They were announced as a college band and maybe they even were just a college band back then. Her drumming is insane, her technique is brilliant, fluid and dynamic like Buddy Rich used to taught his students to play the drums and in the same moment they are decades ahead of their time because they are OBVIOUSLY playing crazy drum& bass and/or trance shit long before it’s invention. And they need only a little more time than 2 minutes for all of this. Biggest treasure on KZfaq for years!!

anyone who have ever tried to play the drums knows how hard it could be, anyone who have ever tried to sing knows how hard it could be. Anyone who have ever tried to play something while singing knows how freaking hard it is... and anyone who have ever tried to play the drums and sing know for sure the extreme difficult behind that.
