Sum[a^2 - 3 a/(4 a^2), {a, 1, 20}] - Sum[a^2 - 3 a/(4 a^2), {a, 7, 11}]

69209343871/28217280

Sum[a^2 - 3 a/(4 a^2), {a, Drop[Range[1, 20], {7, 11}]}]

69209343871/28217280

% == %%

True

=============
I would like to perform a summation of this type, 

Sum[a^2 - 3 a/(4 a^2), {a, 1, 20}]

excluding however some values of the iteratore, I would for instance
like to exclude the values than to greater of 6 and inferior to 12. Is
it possible?

Thanks
