Karen Carpenter.

Didn't Karen just play drums once, on "Close To You"?

I don't know. I believe she was a drummer in the Carpenters (she sang whie playing the drums) before they put her out front. People say she was a really good drummer.

I believe you are right on that one. Karen Carpenter got very sick of the drums right after that song.
