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
