Thanks Yoyoka. Karen Carpenter would be proud of your performance. Beautiful

[@paulvon2378]

this kid is amazing talent.

[@philipdickey6460]

So would Richard

[@Dutch1954]

@@philipdickey6460 Richard is well aware of Yoyoka and has been for quite some time now.

Every shalala still shines! 😇

[@justinherbert9146]

Not only do I appreciate her skill but her ability to play all styles of popular music. Here she is following the drum patterns of the great HAL BLAINE - God Bless Hal may he RIP.

[@peterbulloch4328]

Karen once said she felt the most happy and free when she was behind her kit drumming, just like you Yoyoka! Excellent cover, thank you.

[@need100k]

Wow. I never imagined Yoyoka playing a Carpenters song. Beautiful. I remember back in the 70's watching Karen play the drums and sing. One of the greatest voices of all time, and a superb drummer as well. We still miss you Karen.

[@iplaymytele]

I saw the carpenters live, at Eastern Illinois University in the 70s….🎶❤️🙏🏻 Since then, being a musician , I could not tell you all of the concert I have attended and been impressed with….! But the Carpenters concert I went to in the 70s , was absolutely the best sounding and most entertaining concert. I have attended in my 69 years…..!!! During the concert, Karen went around and played every instrument on the stage as good or better than the great big band back in her up…! 😍🎶🎶😍🎶🎶👍🏻

[@friedaspyder8485]

I had forgotten Karen was such a fantastic drummer. This was a nice reminder.

[@An_Cat_Dubh]

The Carpenter recordings had master session drummer Hal Blaine on drums - Karen of course played live. But in those days many producers and studios relied upon a cadre of ace musicians to work up the tracks. Hal Blaine was one of the key members of Los Angeles' "Wrecking Crew". Blaine played on something like 39 Billboard No. 1 songs. From Wikipedia: "thought to be among the most recorded studio drummers in the music industry, claiming over 35,000 sessions and 6,000 singles. His drumming is featured on 150 US top 10 hits". Arguably the most influential drummer of the 1960s for the simple reason that he plays drums on the majority of Top 40 radio recordings of the era. Everyone from Frank Sinatra to Elvis Presley, The Ronettes, The Crystals, Glen Campbell, Johnny Rivers, Steely Dan, The Byrds, the Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The 5th Dimension, Sonny and Cher, Petula Clark, The Mamas & the Papas, John Denver, Herb Alpert, The Association, The Partridge Family, Neil Diamond, Paul Revere and The Raiders (and many others) have Hal Blaine playing on at least one track if not many. Blaine and Joe Osborn were the rhythm section for The 5th Dimension up through 1975. Check out Blaine's drumming on these two great track: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIulp6qjlsebqZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWGYY2l-ipxrnpI

[@PrimetimeD]

Literally had a tear in my eye listening/watching this. I was a small child when The Carpenters were performing and I had the little 45 rpm single of this song. I'm a 50+ year old metal-head now, but Karen had one of the all time great voices and was an excellent drummer. Thanks Yoyoka!

[@RobertLangdonCapeCanaveral]

I'm a 60 year old classic rocker, and this one had the same affect on me as those old memories came rushing back.

[@ModularLanding]

This brought a tear to my eye too. This is such a great song. Didn’t think it could get better. But damn - Yoyoka’s drumming is just out of this world. This is incredible! It’s opening up my eyes to what an amazing drummer can do, even on a slower tempo song like this. It’s not the blazing blistering technicality she can do - it’s the subtlety, the feel, the emotion. It’s really unbelievable. She’s the best drummer in the world for me right now. Sounds crazy maybe but it’s true.

[@williamwallace5924]

Actually brought tears to my eyes. Karen was so passionate about playing drums, and drums were her first love when it came to music. She suffered terribly due to her illness. Karen was a world class drummer and vocalist. Yoyoka has done her proud. Yoyoka, keep making beautiful music, you are amazing.

[@solazoth6661]

Dear Yoyoka - Karen Carpenter was a great but underrated drummer, especially as a singing drummer. Your treatment of her song was perfect. Great camera angles. 🎉

[@mikmoe6829]

Hal Blaine is the drummer on the recording!!!

[@checkboxeleven]

@@mikmoe6829 Beat me to it! Hal was a monster sessions drummer with a truly astounding record of hit song recordings. Yoyoka's ability to quickly master and flawlessly perform single takes in a studio environment is very evocative of his style.

[@The_SegaHolic]

Underrated? She’s on a lot of greatest drummers lists. She even had a couple aired spcials of her showing off her drumming skills. You mean the generations after her just don’t know she was a drummer… only she was an elite vocalist who died much too early.

[@philipmorris57]

Perfect, there's amazing footage of Karen playing drums on KZbin, be sure to check it out Yoyoko fans, brilliant as always, thanks young lady 😊

[@bbgwrq]

@@mikmoe6829 Do your research. Karen played all drums on the Now & Then album. Thank you.

[@johnarrington6292]

Wow. I love the tasty little details like sneaking in a 16th note triplet in the kick. That's a really difficult slow tempo to groove on but she owned it, of course.

[@kankaji2973]

今回、ポップスのカーペンターズの歌をカバーしてくれてありがとう。兄と妹二人による私の最も好きな歌手グループの一つです。もともとドラムスをたたいていた妹のカレンは　デビュー当初はドラムスをたたきながらメインヴォーカルをしていましたが、のちにヴォーカルのみと変わっていきました。私は中学生から高校生までは実家にいましたので、受験勉強の時もレコードが擦り切れるまで、ずっと毎日毎日聴き続けていました。今でもたまに聴いています。若くしてカレンが亡くなった時は、ショックでしばらく立ち直れないほどでした。今回、ドラマーのよよかちゃんが、この歌をカバーしてくれたのも、何かの縁を感じます。本当にありがとう‼︎

[@andreaspedersen3952]

My parents had a nice LP collection, with some The Carpenters. It makes me very melancholic... Also the thing that Karen died far too soon, because of a heart disorder caused by anorexia. She would for sure smile if she saw this.

[@bluddyrich]

Karen Carpenter always said that she was a drummer that sings not a singer that plays drums! And what a great drummer she was. Just like Yoyoka. 🥁

[@ta_ma_tu4722]

久々の癒し系の選曲！1970年代前半スマッシュヒット！日本でも毎日そこらじゅうで流れたから昭和生まれなら知らない人は居ない！抑え目な大人の演奏ですね！

[@alansaks6171]

My super sweet mother played it so often

[@koma-1122]

なんと 懐かしい ！彼女は歌だけではなくドラムも上手かったと記憶しています。ゆったりとした曲もたまにはいいですね。

[@keithallpress9885]

I can't say I was ever a Carpenters fan, and this drippy song just oozing with nostalgia is actually a depressive recollection of lost love and all that. Well you know your dog dies and your partner runs off with your best friend and takes the truck. But musically it's a nice composition I have to admit, and Yoyoka not only has a fine taste in music she plays the accompaniment so very tastefully.

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

You do know you are not forced to listen and hear the lyrics of a song right...i havent for years and i love music so much more now..but boy do i love me some great vocals..seriously tho it took a bit of practice but i consciously started to ignore the words as if they were a foreign language..mostly cause i didnt enjoy messagy songs..i want my own interpretation..try it.. it might bring a little more music in your life

[@nickefgen9219]

I noticed the different camera angles, the one camera angle that’s showing the snare and kick drum is a much better one 👍 I like the over head camera angle to 👍great video thank you for posting it

[@weneedcriticalthinking]

Sometimes slow playing drums can be more easier to make a mistake than fast playing drums, also the mistake stands out more. You do well Yoyoka.

[@48sunshine78]

イエスタデイ〜ってこう叩いてたんだなぁ…。目で見ると余計に良いね！オカズのあいだにハイハットの開け閉めがあったりしてムズイのね。 カレンのジャズドラムめちゃんこ上手くてビックリしたことあるなぁ〜

[@FUBAR1986]

Thanks for doing this…. Karen had such a beautifully, haunting voice. She’s so missed ❤

[@DeeEllEff]

And besides her wonderful musical legacy, Karen’s tragic and eventual untimely death of heart failure related to her years-long struggle with anorexia would later raise significant attention and awareness of eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and their possible causes. Her all-too-brief life and career were oh so meaningful in so many ways.🙌

[@taka_n6370]

懐かしい名曲をありがとう😉👍️🎶 歌を引き立たせる素敵な演奏ですね。 当時は知りませんでしたが、Karen Carpenterはドラマーとしても素晴らしく、YOYOKAちゃんと同じく DrummerWorldの TOP500に選ばれている数少ない女性ドラマーの１人だそうですね。

I have always been impressed by the sound she gets out of her drum set. Her drums are always tuned perfectly to the song she is covering and doesn't overpower it.

[@58harwood]

Beautiful Boketo! Miss Carpenter would have been proud! 🇯🇵🇺🇸

[@QZV13224]

カーペンターズが世界的ブームとなる中で、自分の本職はドラマーなんだと自認し続けたカレン。 歌が素晴らしすぎて世間にはドラマーとしての認識があまりなかったカレンへのリスペクトと愛情を感じました。

[@zonoue1966]

よよかさんの選曲としては以外でしたが、名曲中の名曲。ドラムに意識をフォーカスしながら聞くYesterday Once More　は初めてでしたが、改めて曲のすばらしさに感動しつつ、よよかさんの温かなドラムに酔いしれました。

[@leokimvideo]

One day Led Zep then The Carpenters, thats an incredible scope of playing skills

[@gt1man931]

Karen was like warm honey dripping off silk. She had chops at the kit as well. I am still sad when I think of her. Being around for 6 decades I remember the Carpenters at their start, all the way to their own show, and her tragic end. It is a good cover.

[@daveintx]

Thanks for the classic hits flashback! Excellent fit for the Yoyoka snare, as well.

[@skeggjoldgunnr3167]

[@nalomike6066]

Great performance! When I was in my early teens I liked the drum work of the Carpenters. Only in my early fifties I'd discovered that Karen Carpenter was an accomplished drummer. Now in my early sixties, I'm glad Yoyoka has covered this song. I understand slower beat pieces can be harder to perform than faster beats. I still enjoy the rock stuff too.

[@assaokinoshita3820]

[@flatwater5]

The greatest, purest American female vocalist I've ever heard, and one hell of a drummer, too. Thank you for this cover.

[@RahimRahmat]

Ok, perhaps I have under-estimated Karen Carpenter as a drummer (but never as a singer). It may sound simple, but it might have a tad more difficulty than I imagined..... maybe.... Either way, this cover gives me some new appreciation of how respectable she really was as a drummer. The reason it's often overlooked though, is because her singing is just too great, that most everyone listening to this song concentrates on that epic voice of hers. So, thank you Yoyoka, for bringing this to light. As always, you have educated me more often than I can thank you for.
