Every shalala still shines! 😇

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.

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

Lovely playing on the drums, love the Carpenters. Miss Karen's voice.

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.

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.

Love the bunnies in the O's in her name!

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. 🥁

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.

わ～嬉しすぎる！！ よよかちゃんがカーペンターズ！今までにない選択ですね♪♪ カレン・カーペンターも素晴らしいドラマーでした！

💛Yoyoka✨

Got that Yoyoka model snare sounding good.

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

You are awesome, Yoyoka!

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。

Loved it, never really listened to the drum on the song, always just listened to Karen and sang

Somewhere Karen is giving you a standing ovation

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‼︎

WOW

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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fI522NmmkcXOo5c.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWRplJiBhZqemJM.html

Can not stop double tap or triple 555 Nice solo on the end

I too love to drum to every type of music.

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

Shing-a-ling-ling! That was great to hear. Very nice.

The sound quality was amazing running through my McIntosh and Sonus Fabers

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.

It's all about feel.

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！

My super sweet mother played it so often

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.

What a pure voice she had.

Wow, what taste! I'm impressed. Karen Carpenter was a Giant. 💪

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.

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

All good drummers can play and enjoy pop songs.

The stick wave at the end. Happy nutty cute kid. Having fun. Being wonderful. ALWAYS do what you love. You bring me joy. Karen carpenter loved playing her drums very much and she was SCARY good at it! You honored her here. Thank you for that.

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.

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。

Yoyoka, you did Karen justice. She would have loved your cover of this very famous song.

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.

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…! 😍🎶🎶😍🎶🎶👍🏻

My God its my favorite song....yeahhh go for it yoyoka

Your maturity and musical sensibilities keep amazing me.

美しい打楽器

どうしよう・・・ドラムで唄ってるで～何気にリムショットに切り替えるところとか・・・歌心を感じるやん～～ありがとう！名演奏でした！！

One of my favorite Carpenter's song!! Still have my 45!! 🥁 🥁🥁

I had forgotten all about this song. .... Thank you.

One just has to ♥you. It's mandatory. 🐐

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。

Thank you yoyoka. I grew up listening to the carpenter's as a kid, younger than you. My mother would play the carpenter's often and my dad with his freddy fender , lol miss you Karen thanks fir the great music you and your brother created. Karen was an all around musician she wrote, sang, played drums and piano .

ドラムにすごく興味があるのですが　そしてドラムで癒やされるのですがたたけません。 でも　よよかさんの　動画を見て、ドラマーになった気分で　一日を終えられます❤ 本当にありがとう😆💕✨

Two of my favorite ladies in the world: karen's beautiful voice.....and Yoyoka's wonderful drum set to accompany! Definitely makes me cry! You are wonderful, Yoyoka!

You make me like stuff I normally don't like !

暖かい音🥁チューニングが素晴らしい👍ダイナミクスの付け方と流れるようなフィルイン🎵歌心溢れる演奏はポンタさん並み💓そしていつも通り大好きな曲🥰ありがとうYoyokaちゃん

Yoyoka’s feel, time, note placement are really impeccable. A real talent.

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〜

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.

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

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。

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

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.🙌

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

Two great drummers❤️

One of my mum's favourite songs. Reminds me of when I was young and she'd play this in the car. I'm sending her the link to this she'll love it

One of my favorite voices

You never make me feel rather sad, nothing has changed. You are a great successor, besides an artist of music.

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.

Sublime tribute Yoyoka. Karen would love it.

Merci beaucoup de la France Yoyoka👍👋😉

I've said it before and i'll say it again, she can join any band of any genre and stands out like a sore thumb. One of my favorite song, thank you for covering this.

毎回オリジナル曲に近い チューニング､敬意を持ってるって 感じるのは私だけ？？😅 ついでに歌も歌いながらだったら もう最高ー😊

SENSEIIII BEAUTY YOYOKA SOMA , THE BEST DRUMMER , TE QUIERO MUCHO NUNCA TE RINDAS

Yoyoka can do smooth with the Carpenters just as well as hard rock with Zeppelin! Yaaaaayyy Yoyoka she's so versatile, the absolute best! More Yoyoka, More Yoyoka, More Yoyoka, I love Yoyoka more! Beautiful!

あなたは一体どれだけのプレイの幅があるのですか？？？「Burn（Deep Purple）」に「ペガサス幻想（Nobさん）」、「Here I go again（Whitesnake）」 、「Colorado Bulldog（Mr. Big） 」、他にもZeppelinにSabathにOzzy、そして「Yesterday once more（Carpenters）」！！！めちゃめちゃ素敵です！！そして何よりも、（難易度の高い曲を見事にプレイしながらも）めちゃめちゃ楽しそうにプレイしてる姿に引き込まれます！！勝手に見入っているだけなのですが、ありがとうございました！！

In my yesteryears I was strictly a metalhead...now I'm glad in older years i can appreciate the Carpenters beautiful music, and Karen's amazing drumming as well! Sweet cover!

So awesome of you to cover this. Nice job!

AMAZING... Very well done. Karen always wanted to be known as a drummer and not a vocalist..

YOYOKAちゃんがこの歌をカバーするとは・・・とてつもない感動です★ 帰国ライブのときにぜひWakasaさんのボーカルで叩いてほしいですー！！

Your a true lover of music you play everything

Beautiful cover

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.

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

シンプルで美しい名曲。 ドラムのアプローチが素晴らしいと思います。

Yoyoka this is a very nice cover of a beautiful song. 🐰🥁🐰🥁🐰

Great song. Karen was a true vocalist with such a beautiful voice. I love the fact that Yoyoka is really expanding her repertoire of music. She can play anything the more she is exposed to the different genre's of music.

I didn't think a song like this could showcase her talent but dang, I was wrong. Fantastic job!

Everything you touch turns to gold Yoyoka. You really captured it. ♥

there is no place to hide in that song... friggin nailed those fills! session level suff!

I'm diggin' the longer hair 👍

Amazing

Run with this new found following, with this and other greats! Go Yoyoka, go! You're very versatile and adaptive to styles. Also kudos to parenting; you're fortunate.

I love that you chose a Carpenter's song, You nailed it. I've made it a point to learn the bass parts for many of their songs...so melodic. Bassist Joe Osborn is one of my favorite bassists.

2016年のドラム専門誌の誌上ドラム・コンテスト応募動画「グライダー」（当時6歳！）でわかってたんだけど、YOYOKAさんの歌に寄り添うプレイは素敵ですよね。 それにしてもライブ版のカバーでなくてよかった。あれはタムの数が足りないｗ

思い出深い懐かしい曲と、よよかちゃんの笑顔に癒されました。ありがとう❤

泣きました😢

Quality … such a perfect interpretation 👍👍👍

you gotta sing it, too, yo!

この手の曲（以前は「ひこうき雲」）を実に見事にドラムで歌いますよね。惚れ惚れします＾ ＾。

大滝詠一というシンガー・ソングライターはこう言いました。「ドラム良ければ全て良し」と。君が叩けば全ての曲は名曲になる。

Beautiful song of The Carpenters and Yoyoka's performance.😍

So great Yoyoka 👍🎉🐸⛩️🥁🇯🇵🇺🇸🏄🏂

カレンへのリスペクトが感じられる。素晴らしい音。 あと、外国人の方に「英語の発音の練習に、Carpentersのカラオケ練習すると良いよ」と言われたのを思いだす。

The time has come Yoyoka. Into Metalverse. Slayer-Raining Blood. Go!

When she hits that 'Top Hat'? at @02:23 it just sounds as pristine as Karen's voice! -Thanks Yoyo!!!

A beautiful song to showcase how smooth your drum fills can be.
