Not just A drummer. She was usually THE drummer.

A bloody good one, too.

Struth where to start.
For me its all about 70,s analogue and damn good old skool studio playing.
ie
Sheena Eastons Modern Girl, good precise bass playing by goodness knows who and clean production.
Andy Gibbs Everlasting Love....Maurice Gibbs superbly accurate playing on this one
Stevie Wonders Isnt She Lovely etc etc....I could go on.

Cheese in spades....but all great tunes.

The whole Karen Carpenter Drumming thing is quite interesting.
Hal Blaine (Studio Drummer on most of the recordings) has a few little stories.

[size=4]There is also some interesting stuff about the live shows/tours where Carl O'Brian was the regular Drummer.[/size]
[size=4]I believe Karen's Drumming was a solo feature during the shows.[/size]
Some stuff here about the live shows.

[size=4]What ever the real story, she certainly was a very talented Musician with a stunning voice.[/size]

[size=4]Just been doing a bit of digging - It seems she was the Drummer on 'Please, Mr Postman',[/size]
[size=4]and certainly played all the Drums on the first Carpenters album (1969 - Ticket To Ride), along with some Bass.[/size]

Wonderful. Often wonder what Jane saw in that chain smoking old tramp though.

Maybe because she had a constant supply of fags on tap? :lol:

Recently I have been listening to "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi. Cheesy as hell but I love listening to it, and singing it in the car at full volume. I would never play it on bass or want it in any set but I still cant get enough of that cheese. Anyone else have any cheesy song secrets?
