VERY interesting! I love all the commentary - most notably - how often drummers request Carpenters and about how difficult this song is. It sure looked it!
You were phenomenal! 😎 Another challenge would be to cover their "Mr Guder" off the 'Close To You" Album. PS it wouldn't hurt to have someone on tambourine as well. I wouldn't expect another Doug Strawn.
Excellent quality! I’ve learned more about Hal Blaine from you. I always liked that Karen Carpenter was a singing drummer as well. Great drumming and great performance Earl!
Rich RW Dawg drums ... thanks Rich! I used replaced the heads on these baby’s so I had to do more Hal Blaine songs! I’m working up to some Phil Collins songs! We will see ...
Thanks for the feedback Blake! I know now that Hal Blaine was not on the album. Jim Gordon was on the album, but I think this song is credited to Karen Carpenter on drums. The tempo moves pretty good on this one, so I’d bet Karen! Jim’s time was very good. Also, Karen had a huge Hal Blaine drum kit with lots of concert toms. But I’m not completely sure who played it … this is my 2019 version. I did another updated version last year. Thanks for watching!
@@earldrum I agree the song definitely has a Karen Carpenter drum vibe. I like the deliberate focus on toms and less attention to snare in this one. I feel like Jim Gordon is more snare focused. Wikipedia says it is Jim on the song, which surprised me. I'm a keyboard player so what do I know about drums lol. Great job on the cover BTW. Nice to see people covering this style of music when everyone else wants to cover Rush
@@BlakeRansom1 thanks for the kind words! Yes, Rush is not favorite band to do drum covers for … plus the Neil fans are brutal! I’m more of a Hal Blaine, Jim Gordon, or Jeff Porcaro style drummer. But maybe I’ll try Tom Sawyer some day 😂
Wooow... The Carpenters !!! I think u did an amazing job with this, Earl ... great drumming !!! 🤩🤩 Greetings... and hope you have a great week, my friend !!! 😎🙋🏻♂️🥁🥢 LIKE#
Hi Earl I play music by ear the piano drums guitar and I have to tell you Karen is and always has been my favorite female singer! Thank you so much for drumming to a few of my favorites by her! Your drums on every song you play sound better than any I have ever heard! So happy to have found you. Keep up the good work!
Cheri Gemerek ... thanks for the kind words. Maybe, someday I’ll get her to sing. I have a few of her original sings to turn into a drum cover ... maybe someday. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻✌🏻
Oh ! What a set!! How many you have? Great drumming and sound man!!Lovely song choice!!This tempo is rumba very often used in Greek Rembetiko and Contemborary songs!!
Stamatis Tsolelis ... thanks for the feedback. I have three drum kits. This kit is my Pearl fiberglass drum kit. I don’t have a fiberglass kick drum. But I have 14x22 Gretsch kick drum that I usually use with this kit ... this is my 14x20 Gretsch kick drum.
Since Hal Blaine was a studio drummer who played this live Karen Carpenter? I like that tom fill too those are your concert toms right? It all sounded great Earl!!
Mauro Mondin ... thanks for watching and your request. I’ll see what I can do ... but it may be awhile. I’m surprise at how many Carpenters fans watch my videos. I might redo this one and do a video using my remove drums from the music program. Thanks for the idea.
Well, she actually uses the snare drum in the chorus, but is kind of hidden in the mix: a unique sound, but is there. Anyway, very well done, my friend.
Thanks for the feedback Vickie! I am playing drums over the original drummer. So you hear his drum parts coming through. Here is my second version of this song without any other drums. I hope you enjoy it! Only Yesterday - The Carpenters (Drum Cover Revisited) ruclips.net/video/mrRJqo3yI0Q/видео.html
The original tom tom concert 70's. I love!
tough song dynamically , good job
No shame,, Total Pro! She was a talented percussionist ; as Earl is.
Thanks for watching Michael! Karen was awesome! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Love watching drummers play. So neat how they hit just the right drum or cymbal just at the right moment.
That takes years of practice! 😊👍🏻🤘🏻🙏🏻
VERY interesting! I love all the commentary - most notably - how often drummers request Carpenters and about how difficult this song is. It sure looked it!
I can you have been busy! Thanks for watching and your encouragement!
Love the tom toms Earl ! just like octa plus type of deal
Great cover , the only one who's played this main groove properly , well done sir ..
Thanks for watching. It’s a tougher groove then most think. Thanks for the kind words!

Jim Gordon actually played drums on this song. Kind of a dark history if you look him up but great drummer
