Lots of men talk a lot of crap, let's face it. Maybe Karen did have her weaknesses, for the sake of argument, but she was always improving, working. Her drumming got better. She was young too. Watch her drum solo in MMM, her drumming is complex and sophisticated. She is crossing her hands, for example, which is usually a sign of a top drummer. I imagine she spent plenty of time behind the scenes, at her beloved drums.
Alas, we only have what we have. It is a treasure trove though. Just listen to her drumming on 'This Masquerade': it is quiet and subtle, but listen to the details, every verse is different. She never plays any part the same way twice; just like Neil Peart, who is considered one of the best of all times, and he is not singing at the same time. Yet, he too, is better now than 30 years ago because he works at it.
Karen clearly did the same, but there was little support on that horizon.
Anyway, I should shut up now. Thanks for reading.
