th-cam.com/video/p8K7r3dXWjc/w-d-xo.html That's the maestro George Duke's band and Sheila E at 20 years young playing the timbales solo....... 1978. Enjoy! One more you might REALLY love is Tito Puente, Pete Escovedo (her father), and Sheila E. playing timbales: th-cam.com/video/k27F1FccuK4/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUjdGl0byBwdWVudGUgc2hlaWxhIGUgcGV0ZSBlc2NvdmVkbyA%3D
To be totally honest . She was the first female drummer Id ever heard of back in the day . Obviously there are alot of very talented female drummers . There always had been . But she has always stuck in my mind since I saw her playing for prince a long time ago . Totally awesome .
Yes but Not on high heels… and the heels rarely touch the back of the footboard! That is about 45 degrees angle from flat surface… Edit: and ohh.. she played standing up briefly at times without missing a beat.. on heels
Yeah I know what you mean. She plays it with a Latin feel though. Now that I think about it, it'd be cool to hear some Opeth with that kind of Latin vibe. Maybe I'll do a cover someday....
I hope that you can keep this video up, it keeps coming down. Needs to be seen, a woman in stilettos grooving like an 18 wheeler, and switching between styles like it's no big deal. And she is beautiful. Wonderful combination!
Estamos en el 2018 a finales, soy Batería y toco timbal, soy cubano y tengo una cierta edad, en los 1980's me quedé frío y ahora quedé congelado, no porque me asombra lo que hace, sino porque siendo mujer lo hace!!!! Whaooo, a pesar que no simpatizo con Puerto Rico por muchos robos músicales que le hace a Cuba, me quito el sombrero y solo digo !!!QUE GRANDE ERES SHEILA ESCOBEDO !!! Eres Lo Máximo como Mujer!!! MIS RESPETOSSS!!! ABRAZOS Y UN BESO!!!!
Cool story I heard from one of her family members back in the day: As soon as she could reach the heads of conga drums she could make a great sound and play!
Beautiful enough to reduce Billy Dee Williams to Al Roker with a smile and a "hello," yet capable of soloing with her hands. I was surprised to notice her playing Zildjian cymbals, though. I remembered her some time ago as one of the best-known players/endorsers of Paiste's.
I was born in 81 and I've had a crush on this woman since I could watch TV

Though she is famous... I don't think she gets the level of recognition she REALLY deserves. TRULY AMAZING 😍
I totally agree.
Imagine if Neil Peart and Sheila E. had a kid.
The public has not seen her on a set like that very often. I know for me, when I hear her name, I immediately think of timbales. She is really great.
Nope.
Rhythm Goddess. Inspirational to anyone who appreciates percussion.
If this doesn't inspire anybody to play drums i don't know what would. Total respect to Sheila E, this is awesome playing,
As a drummer, no where near her quality, I've always been a fan of Sheila E. she's amazing!
Sheila E. is a living legend. Been around for soooo long and can still drum like nobody's business! Doesn't get the full credit she deserves
incredible drum solo, without doubt, one of the greatest drummer of all time, , the GREAT Sheila E
Baddest drummer alive I don't care what anyone has to say. She doesn't get enough credit for her talent.
She always tears it up! I hear she also teaches drumming, gives lessons.
could you make it beter ? it's just a question
Alana Veira so true She is a Beast
Alana Veir
Totally agree.
No one looked better at playing the drums. The beautiful and talented Sheila E.
Damn. In high heels and a skirt. I hear ya Sheila.
Yeah! It's heel-up all the way, I guess... ;-) Amazing talent.
apiece ofdirt i
She truly is living the glamorous life.
seen shiela in 1976 playing w azteca her dads Pete band she killed it one of the great percussion players of all time. from OAKTOWN BABY.
Cool. Did you ever see Azteca with Terry Bozzio?
To be totally honest . She was the first female drummer Id ever heard of back in the day . Obviously there are alot of very talented female drummers . There always had been . But she has always stuck in my mind since I saw her playing for prince a long time ago . Totally awesome .
Playing drums like that in 3 inch stilettos...God Mode
Not really that hard. Most drummers play with their feet like that anyway.
Yes but Not on high heels… and the heels rarely touch the back of the footboard! That is about 45 degrees angle from flat surface…
Edit: and ohh.. she played standing up briefly at times without missing a beat.. on heels
In drum notation HH = Hi Hat but where she's concerned its HHH ;-) She's a force of nature!!
I'm currently reading Sheila E's book, so I had to check up on her playing…OMG! Break it down now! Maximum Respect
Where can I get the Book?

Sheila E has always been fire 🔥
Still watching in fall of 2019.
Wow. She’s been rocking for years. She also played and still playing with some of the best.
Just Wow! And with heels on.
I discovered this fantastic drummer today!
Who ever thought a percussionist could be so beautiful and awesome at the same time😍
Extraklasse! Sie ist einer der besten Drummerinne und Percussionistinen der Weld, wenn nicht Die Beste !!!
That groove around 1:25 I've heard Opeth and other metal bands use a lot. And she goes into her solo stuff after. Just great. Awesome stuff!
Its a double parradidle groove
Yeah I know what you mean. She plays it with a Latin feel though.
Now that I think about it, it'd be cool to hear some Opeth with that kind of Latin vibe. Maybe I'll do a cover someday....
2:24 is drum and bass
*THE QUEEN OF PERCUSSION! BOW DOWN TO MS. ESCOVEDO! =)*
real musicians doing real musician shit. these things mattered once ✊️🥁🤘👏🌟😍
One time Prince's drummer and fiancee. Awesome talent.
She claims to have been his fiancee - he's dead he can't confirm or deny
@@tc6664It’s well known she was his fiancee. Prince (especially when he was younger) was notorious for avoiding commitment.
Yup-luv Maestra’s combination rudiment/timbale fills throughout the drum kit. You Go Girl!!!
She is so talented and beautiful
California Bay Area Baby! Cleanest solos, chops and patterns!
amazing especially in the sign of the times dvd : incredible drummer !
Amazing. She will put a lot of rock drummers to shame.
Most
Wow she ain't joking.
Top top top. Regardless of species; creed; colour; gender....... Just superb.
GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!She is BADASS!!!!
SHE'S BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From 1985 American Music Awards, and now, and forever. This.
Top 10 drummer of All Time!!
She plays with high heels ! Wonderful woman!
This is one of the coolest videos ever
If I’d been the band’s drummer, my bags would’ve been packed by the end of this routine.
This is truly inspiring, especially as a female drummer.
To be able to sing after that drum solo, that's pure cardio endurance.
In the heels👌 love it!
What a Marvellous drummer !
She’s awesome 👏 ❤🥁🕊️😎
Magnificent!
SHE IS THE BEST AND GOT IT GOING ON!!!!!
So talented. Damn.
Grossly underrated.
I hope that you can keep this video up, it keeps coming down. Needs to be seen, a woman in stilettos grooving like an 18 wheeler, and switching between styles like it's no big deal. And she is beautiful. Wonderful combination!
Wow, what a Rockstar! 💜
The only thing that could possibly make this any more awesome is the next time I see it. I love you too!
The "E" is AWESOME!👍
awesome!
And she still fine...
I love her cymbals stand
ONE MORE TIME! QUEEN!!!!!
Absolute legend 👌🏻
How are we even allowed to breathe the same air as this goddess.
she is amazing....

Dude those are the cleanest singles of all times
I ❤❤❤❤ this queen
I can hear Papi Pete is saying, "That's my baby... I taught her well..."
THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!
Talented drummer, beautiful and attractive woman, the stunning miniskirt makes me dream
She(ila)’s The One☝🏻
Cool story I heard from one of her family members back in the day: As soon as she could reach the heads of conga drums she could make a great sound and play!
SLAY QUEEN 👑
She still has it
Oh My God...She is Just Too F#@king Amazing... You Da Bombs#@t Sheila Baby 😀😀😘😘😎💯💯❤️❤️
And in heels too! Unreal!
Priceless
THE INCREDIBLE SHEILA E
I recently saw Krush Groove I knew she was something special, but I didn't know she was so famous
High heals impressive!
Afu@&inmazing!
Rock on girl!!
I only know like 5 female drummers that can really play but her, she blew me away
That just means you're ignorant. You ever really looked? She is one of many.
Her and Tito I'm telling you. Did y'all hear that little 5 beat mambo cut?
Love U ❤prodigy of nature
I was wondering what inch china cymbal is that what Sheila hits?sounds so good and grispy
Beautiful enough to reduce Billy Dee Williams to Al Roker with a smile and a "hello," yet capable of soloing with her hands. I was surprised to notice her playing Zildjian cymbals, though. I remembered her some time ago as one of the best-known players/endorsers of Paiste's.
100% certified ass kicker. I could watch this all day.
GREAT I CAN DIG IT.✌
cool, amazing
DAMN SHEILA!!!! KILLED IT❤
madreeeee miaaa q makinaaa ija miaa la MEJOR
Incredible!
WAOOOO. WOOW. AMAZING
Sheila ist großartig, ich verehre sie seit Jahrzehnten - aber hier ist sie einfach zu schnell für die Band!
Sheila E ❤
So damn quick. And in stilettos!!!!
amazing
This right there is the reason Prince handpicked her.
I love how Sheila E. sings though besides doing her drum solo.
How sweet
Great choice of attire to beat the shit out some drums, so sweet :)..... S.E. is awesome
Damn mad respect omg
Most amazing!!!!
Impressive, I take off my hat .
