On this day, February 4, 1983, the world lost a pioneering musical giant, Karen Carpenter. Here's Karen Carpenter with a Drum Solo (to say the least!) for the 1976 First Television Special of "The Carpenters." Was Karen an inspiration or influence to you in anyway? If you are younger than about 50, it may be hard to grasp how important Karen's imprint on the world of music and drumming is. | Drum Talk TV

If you’re a fan of singing and drumming at the same time, check this out! This is a clip of Karen Carpenter from 1968 playing on the set of Your All American College Show. She was just 18 years old at the time! 😱 And, well, she’s not just playing a basic beat while singing, there’s some seriously tasty stuff in there. Have you tried to sing and drum at the same time? 💬 | Drumeo
