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 .
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....
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
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.
As a drummer, no where near her quality, I've always been a fan of Sheila E. she's amazing!
If this doesn't inspire anybody to play drums i don't know what would. Total respect to Sheila E, this is awesome playing,
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
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.
incredible drum solo, without doubt, one of the greatest drummer of all time, , the GREAT Sheila E
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 .
In my opinion, her drum solo was the most entertaining of all of the Letterman drum week solos.
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?
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?

She has always been an amazing star. Comes from a great musician family. She said she learned percussions mirrored at first from her father Pete.
She truly is living the glamorous life.
Extraklasse! Sie ist einer der besten Drummerinne und Percussionistinen der Weld, wenn nicht Die Beste !!!
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
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
Sheila E has always been fire 🔥
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!!
Still watching in fall of 2019.
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.
*THE QUEEN OF PERCUSSION! BOW DOWN TO MS. ESCOVEDO! =)*
Just Wow! And with heels on.
Wow. She’s been rocking for years. She also played and still playing with some of the best.
I discovered this fantastic drummer today!
Who ever thought a percussionist could be so beautiful and awesome at the same time😍
Yup-luv Maestra’s combination rudiment/timbale fills throughout the drum kit. You Go Girl!!!
California Bay Area Baby! Cleanest solos, chops and patterns!
amazing especially in the sign of the times dvd : incredible drummer !
Wow she ain't joking.
SHE'S BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!She is BADASS!!!!
awesome!
Top top top. Regardless of species; creed; colour; gender....... Just superb.
Amazing. She will put a lot of rock drummers to shame.
Most
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!
To be able to sing after that drum solo, that's pure cardio endurance.
From 1985 American Music Awards, and now, and forever. This.
In the heels👌 love it!
She plays with high heels ! Wonderful woman!
This is truly inspiring, especially as a female drummer.
The "E" is AWESOME!👍
Top 10 drummer of All Time!!
If I’d been the band’s drummer, my bags would’ve been packed by the end of this routine.
she is amazing....

Grossly underrated.
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!
She’s awesome 👏 ❤🥁🕊️😎

SHE IS THE BEST AND GOT IT GOING ON!!!!!
Wow, what a Rockstar! 💜

DAMN SHEILA!!!! KILLED IT❤
She(ila)’s The One☝🏻
100% certified ass kicker. I could watch this all day.
Most amazing!!!!
Everything else aside, the way she hangs her crash cymbals is so fucking cool.
So damn quick. And in stilettos!!!!
I love how Sheila E. sings though besides doing her drum solo.
I was wondering what inch china cymbal is that what Sheila hits?sounds so good and grispy
Talented drummer, beautiful and attractive woman, the stunning miniskirt makes me dream
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.
Priceless
Her and Tito I'm telling you. Did y'all hear that little 5 beat mambo cut?
She murdered that!! And in heels lol
