This question was probably dealt with before but I am wondering if anybody can tell me where to find the names of the songs that Karen played drums on in the studio.
I know she played all drums on Offering and Now and Then (except This Masquerade) but what about the other records. I ask this because of an interview I came across with Hal Blaine where he says he drummed on 95% of the Carpenters studio records (from 1971-1973) and the fact that after Horizon Karen isn't credited for playing drums on the albums. Thanks in advance.
BTW there are no musician credits on individual tracks for the records that I own up to A Kind of Hush.

You know, I've been wondering the same as you. I know that she played drums in all the tracks of Offering/Ticket to ride album and also played electric bass in two tracks of this album. She played drums in all tracks of Now & Then album, except Jambalaya which Hal Blaine was the drummer. I also know that she played drums in these tracks:
Flat Barroque
Please Mr. Postman
Top of the World (1973 version)
Suntory pop commercials
1980 ABC Medley (of From the Top)
When it's gone (it's just gone) (Shared credits with Larrie Londin)
And I'm not sure but I think she played drums in Another song (from Close to You album)

Karen plays drums on "I Got Rhythm". Too bad she didn't play drums on more songs.  |

Hi Guest I have searched the internet for Karen's drum tabs but have not been able to find anything yet. Here's a few more songs to add to the list of songs Karen played drums on: Mr. Guder Happy She did play drums on "This Masquerade", I think this is one of her best performances.  |

Hey Rick, I totally agree with you! I think "This Masquerade" is one of her finest performances. "Yesterday once more" & "Please Mr. Postman" are two of my favourite Karen's drumwork too |

I really like Karen's drumwork on Your Wonderful Parade and All I Can Do. She was a great drummer.
