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....
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!
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!

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.

Rhythm Goddess. Inspirational to anyone who appreciates percussion.
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
As a drummer, no where near her quality, I've always been a fan of Sheila E. she's amazing!
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?
incredible drum solo, without doubt, one of the greatest drummer of all time, , the GREAT Sheila E
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…

In drum notation HH = Hi Hat but where she's concerned its HHH ;-) She's a force of nature!!
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.
If this doesn't inspire anybody to play drums i don't know what would. Total respect to Sheila E, this is awesome playing,
No one looked better at playing the drums. The beautiful and talented Sheila E.
Just Wow! And with heels on.
She truly is living the glamorous life.
Still watching in fall of 2019.
Sheila E has always been fire 🔥
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
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?

apiece ofdirt i
Wow she ain't joking.
*THE QUEEN OF PERCUSSION! BOW DOWN TO MS. ESCOVEDO! =)*
I discovered this fantastic drummer today!
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
Amazing. She will put a lot of rock drummers to shame.
amazing especially in the sign of the times dvd : incredible drummer !
California Bay Area Baby! Cleanest solos, chops and patterns!
real musicians doing real musician shit. these things mattered once ✊️🥁🤘👏🌟😍
Yup-luv Maestra’s combination rudiment/timbale fills throughout the drum kit. You Go Girl!!!
GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!She is BADASS!!!!
Wow, what a Rockstar! 💜
Who ever thought a percussionist could be so beautiful and awesome at the same time😍
What a Marvellous drummer !
To be able to sing after that drum solo, that's pure cardio endurance.
And she still fine...
Top top top. Regardless of species; creed; colour; gender....... Just superb.
This is truly inspiring, especially as a female drummer.
In the heels👌 love it!
I love her cymbals stand
The "E" is AWESOME!👍

100% certified ass kicker. I could watch this all day.
This is one of the coolest videos ever
Absolute legend 👌🏻
SHE IS THE BEST AND GOT IT GOING ON!!!!!

The only thing that could possibly make this any more awesome is the next time I see it. I love you too!
Most amazing!!!!
If I’d been the band’s drummer, my bags would’ve been packed by the end of this routine.
I can hear Papi Pete is saying, "That's my baby... I taught her well..."

Sheila ist großartig, ich verehre sie seit Jahrzehnten - aber hier ist sie einfach zu schnell für die Band!
Everything else aside, the way she hangs her crash cymbals is so fucking cool.
