  • What's she like 65? Great job!!

  • What a drummer, she is awesome, Thank you for posting.

  • \m/ @ _ @ \m/

  • Lame

  • Dude she was so good she knocked the mic over.

  • she beast mode

    

  • HER FACILA EXPRESSIONS RULE!

  • did someone say metal is nothing for women?

    and fuck off kitchen commenators!

  • Lets see the videos of your great drummers folks..I think this gal was pretty good. Takes after her dad.

  • SHIT QUALITY

  • I just started drumming and this gorl is my idol! I want to be just like her. even though i know no can mact her skills, I'll try tho.

    YOU ROCK SHEILA!!! \m/

  • @PunkAngel789 You can't be fucking serious

    Look for a better idol, or you'll end up a shit drummer too.

  • @AGPMandavel Like yourself? Where's your Sheila E stomping video?

  • YouTube has really destroyed my faith in humankind. I don't understand people who criticize and judge people in their vids, especially someone like Sheila E. Ya don't like, fine, go back to Bieber, Gaga, whoever... no worries. So here's the task, haters: Post your "most excellent drumming" performance as a vid response to this and let everyone have "thumb's say" to your performance. Like to see if your resume looks like Sheila E's as well. Put up/shut up... your choice.

  • @micvelo Right On.

    ~sarnia~

  • OMFG MARRY ME :O

  • Shiela E's a freakin fireball!!

  • Sheila E has nothing to prove to anyone. She has been drumming at a professional standard all her adult life. She is a singer, songwriter, musical director, actress - and the list of people who've hunted her out to work with speaks for itself... don't bother replying to anyone who tries to disrespect this amazing woman.

    (Are they jealous cos she's also attractive?)

  • omg she freakn rocked it!! and when you do somthn you really like and you feel it..you dont care how people look at you!! bottom line is shes damn good..wht do you do good child???

  • Really though?! ... did she really have play like that!

  • Nothing but noise, no technicality. But she does prove to be a fan favorite, especially those fans that couldn't drum their way out of a paper bag.

  • KE SOLO TAN ASKEROSO Y TAN POKO AGRADABLE AL BUEN OIDO.

  • she's got her own style

    but her drumming is not that good

  • I mean @blackguitar86

  • @blackguitarman86-

    so true!!

    Sheila E is awesome and beautiful!!

  • @narcoman2- I hear ya-- I saw Sheila E when she was playing congas with the George Duke Band back in the late 70's-

    that was way pre dance diva- she is awesome and beautiful!!!

  • my 5 yr old can do that solo

  • @kesayo Let's see the video of your 5 year old doing this solo. That would be interesting to watch.

  • If I want to hear a drum solo I will listen to Holy Ghost by the Bar Kays. Stop acting crazy, that is not a percussion solo that is a mess.

  • @aftereight01

    I see her as a fusion of rock, pop, and a Caribbean sort of insanity throw in. She was the drummer for Prince man!!! She is obviously an amazing musician. I think you just PREFER The Bar Keys. That's the way music is, but to say she isn;t amazing in her own style? Whatever man, GTFO!

  • She sure showed that overhead mic who was boss.

  • THIS LADY WOULD KICK ANYONES ASS GUARANTEED THUNDEROUS KICKS AND HITS!!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK LADY!!!!!!!!!

  • gotta love that woman :)

  • are (some of ) you tripping?

    Sheila E rocks - this vid is not the best quality but she is a monster---/ search more Sheila E and get back to us-

  • @davelewitt too right. I think half of the goons on here haven't heard of her. Woman or not - as a drummer - a legend.

  • @davelewitt So true about the quality and her talent. What people fail to realize is that she is someone who studied her craft. She is not part of the now crowd and just wants to put out a record. SHe knows her stuff and has been doing so for years. Most musicians appreciate her. Most of the people that place negative comments are not even musicians but are just cynics who make a judgement about her in the limited minutes that they see of her.

  • povera batteria. sta deficente cocainomane! er cane mio suona meglio!

  • she must be a beast in the bed

  • 42 morans 172 friends

  • shit

  • Comment removed

  • i look up to her && orianthi . two females that are out of this world !! (sheila e on drums && orianthi on guitar) . if they play toqether , that would be awesome !! (:

  • Comment removed

  • hmm its crazy, but it don´t sound as good music in my ears

  • weak!!

  • fucking awesome she is so fine

  • @crisriv34

    really!! you're right. but let me fix YOU NEVER see ANOTHER woman playing at all if u made sum kin of statements

  • very poor solo ... ok, she's cool at drum, but come on ... what's the point in these horrible speed changes ... feeling = 0 groove = 0 .... .... all of we guys, can challenge ourselfes to hit the cymbal as hard as u can .... i hate woman drummer that are overrated just for the fact that they are woman ... it's senseless ...

  • Women on drums...bad combination!

  • @moonySK You living...bad combination.

  • e ke è indemoniata questa!!!!!!

    Poveri piatti!!!!!...

  • does having the cymbals mounted like that make a difference to the sound or is it just for show?

  • All you haters are probably just sexist. This woman is insane on those drums.

  • @scabbarae I know, I just love how women (i'm male) are judged so harshly compared to men. Like Cindy Blackman, you see a bunch of douche bags saying she sucks, but they'll go and say Travis Barker is the best in the world....

  • @sgtpepper1138 lol! true true

  • i have a rare sheila E dvd with interviews, videos and tv performances from 1984-1993.message me for details : )

  • @Ellensimplythebest joking about what? and u think i know nothing about drumming??? u must be outta ya mind everything i say about this vid is the truth wether u like it or not so goodbye

  • @tingymonho you must be joking,right? yes!! you are joking...or you don't know anything about playing drums!! I think it's the second choice,let study drum for a while then talk.

  • @Ellensimplythebest So upload some videos so we can see your skills.

  • @sgtpepper1138 woops nevermind, wrong reply

  • @tingymonho..Ha..No sir..I can't trust you.....er-go i dont know you..Anyway, Shelia E. is my idol...So i must suck ass when it comes to drumming huh?

    You implied that your better than her right? Dude...you and your ego need a reality check..and then your comparing yourself to a female..super..

  • @tingymonho ..no sir you suck..Shes really darn good...

  • Love Sheila E! She's hot and can outplay 99.9% of present day drummers!!

  • @Upperstrom She's awesome but a big no on the 99.9%. You must be listening to bad drummers. Just say she's great and leave it at that. I bet there's 20000 drummers better then Sheila and myself out there just in America. There's always somebody better out there, so it's pointless to make statements like that.

  • @drunktastic to be honest i'd say that out of the hundreds upon thousands of people that drum, shes probably in the top 0.1 percentile. But anyway whats pointless is being on the prowl for "someone better", you've fallen at the first hurdle mate, there may be variance in ability but at the end of the day its all down to personal opinion anyway, besides music isnt about whos 'better' anyway!

  • @HunterGathera Music often IS about who's better. Eg Mariah Carey, Harry Nillson, "Without you" Who's better? Nillson. If you don't get that you have no ear for music and no taste.

  • @novadrian same answer.

  • @Upperstrom that is completely false. she absolutely cannot outplay 99.9% of present day drummers. please rethink that statement, i strongly implore you to do so. 

  • @Upperstrom What the fuck are you talking about...? This is horrible

  • @BizliBoy No it's NOT. The recording is distorted. The playing is superb.

  • @novadrian of course... she is very much a second rate drummer in comparison to so many others...

  • just goes to show how dumb people are, listen to the crowd cheering her on.

  • @65ludwig thank god someone knows good drumming, that is just basic metal crap listen to JOhn BOnham

  • This is the coldesssssssst!!!!! drumer i know but i wonder if she ever hit anybody wit them sticks !!!! LOL

  • a kiss how about a slap for playing the hell out of those drums ...oh yeah very good.. peace

  • gunmachine

  • THE MUST

  • This deserves a clip from Wayne's World...

    Man watching Garth play - "Wow, you're.. amazing, dude.."

    Garth - "Thanks. I like to play."

  • omg poor drums.....jk!! (:

  • lol is like ... wtf? xD

  • hahahahahaaaaa...she killed the drums!

  • K...well its not a competition. Sheila is queen.

  • k...well go fuck yourself! I didnt need ur opinion.

  • You kind of have to expect someone smarter than you to put you in your place when you post YOUR opinions on Youtube. No one needs yours as much as you need mine.

  • Amen! I suspect that person you're speaking to is not all there - LOL

    Anyone who draws a comparison between Sheila E and Karen Carpenter, then tells you to fuck yourself sounds psychotic. In fact there's a few strange ones commenting on here. Never knew Sheila E was so important to attract these weird negative elements on this video - LOL

  • No one asked yours either. There's plenty of Karen Carpenter videos... why don't you go there now!!!

  • LMFAO!~

  • Ha ha ha! All you guys critics so are funny. She openly will tell anyone that the drum set is not her forte...but I think she still plays very well. Please, I challenge any of you to go against her on the Timbales or the Congas...please, let's see how many of you critics would walk away with their head up.

    I can't stand critics who do nothing but that...CRITICIZE everyone!

  • Sheila kills it every time...

    Those same critics who talk like they're experts on everything are sitting at home wiping boogers on their chair for a living.

  • Shes badass on the timbales & congas.

  • fucking hell how hard do you wanna hit the cymbals, god shes rubbish

  • ...the last 10 seconds of a long drum solo... get a clue.

  • gril you have more drum parts, not just cymbals, and you are playn not hitin your boyfriend, if you like to have atention, play well cuz your solo is a bull shit,, george kollias and joey jordison for ever

  • george kolias and joey jordison are not good soloists at all. try bobby jarzombek or tony royster jr or akira jimbo. or dave weckl or vinnie colautia.

  • is he playing drums with beyonce???

  • I think she's better playing congas,that's too bad,and people like it uhhhggg!

  • muy farola

  • merda

  • Highly overrated..

  • i think im in love!!

    haha she my hero!

  • she let people see that girls are good drummers too

  • My heeeeeeeeeeerooooooooo

  • aayyy el micro,jajaja,bien le gustan los micros ijoooo,undebel,54654 micros pa la bateria y luego se desatina

  • Wow... you guys know nothing... this a frikkin solo not a song. Think before you frikkin type.

  • Awesome... and I'd like to see any of you posers post your solos as Jim Vice said.

  • shelia ms e is one the best drummers in the world

  • haha shes awesome :)

  • she´s just making noise with drums, thas can make any drumer.....

  • Whatever.... she is a bad ass percussionist.... that is her strength and she is amazing - she can hold a pretty good beat on the kit too! Why don't you losers who want to spread hate post your drum solos on you tube? I'm sure she would kick your ass....

  • @JmViceHeart They're douchebag losers who never made it and never will...that's why they hating on her.

  • bad bad bad

    shes just smashing da drums no tune crap really CRAP

  • SUCKS

  • For a woman drummer you must check out Cindy Blackman Kravitz' drummer. better than 95% of all of them jazz and rock. She's tough

  • Shit

  • ma che cavolo suona questa??vai a studiare un po di tecnica e nn ti ammazzare mentre suoni.....

  • fucking SWEET mix, way to go sound guy....

  • definitely. . .not that great

  • Wild Woman!, Love it!

  • jesus fucking christ

  • 'holy' shit

  • mhm.. that was bad lol..

  • that was horrible....

    how hard can it be to hit your double bass peddle as fast as you can and smash your cymbals? thats worthless

  • hahaha! u sound so stupid. i guess its ok tho ur obviously not a drummer or a musician... and probably a little retarded

  • You're an idiot if you think this has any kind of beat or musical structure.

  • um fuck u cunt.

  • It's a drum solo you wank. she's just beasting it out and that's fine by me.

  • i bet you know more than sheila e right??

    i bet you're the best drummer in the world.......

    wonder why you not famous though and here on youtube critiqueing stuff you couldnt even do in your dreams..

  • when that stand fell over,i jizzed on myself,that was so cool,she kinda looks like shes on meth (speculative observation)but she really blew me away when i seen this,damn everyone needs to just let that prince shit and the stick in the air shit go,we are all artists in our own ways and thats that,no more hate!>>>>>>>>>

  • Her Dad was one of the world's best percussionist without a doubt!

  • Let's face it though. The sound is HORRIBLE! But that IS Sheila. And NO don't need vulgar comments, but kids will be kids!

  • no it doesnt but ur dick still does.

  • Who said anything about my dick? You're thinking about stinky dicks because you want to suck them - stupid little gay boy.

  • yeah im gay but im a girl. Idiot. Your dick still stinks.

  • That's not Sheila E. I seen her recently on T.V. she'a plump girl now. This chic is hot and young. Sheila has got to be around 50 now.

  • That sMy girl Sheila!

  • Comment removed

  • As a life-long musician I'm just going to judge her against every drummer - regardless of gender - and she is way up at the top of the list.

  • I think she is the first female drummer that went main stream

  • I love the comments on this video. What a bunch of fucking clueless jerkoffs.

    Sheila E. deserves better.

  • I have no idea what the fighting on this page is about. If she sucked, she wouldn't be sponsored by Toca & VicFirth, and she wouldn't be voted as best female drummer ALMOST every year and the best female percussionist EVERY year by professional drummers themselves. Despite her long-standing illness, she still whoops drummers & percussionists out there, and she's always in demand to appear, perform, judge, and record. BTW, of course the audio sounds like crap: it's a crappy recording device.

  • By the way, Slipknot is another band that has been in the industry alot longer then any of your poser friends have even known about them. Its amazing how they have legions of fans worldwide and multi platnium record deals isnt it? The reason is simple. Every band or musician who is doing there job day in day out, dont give a flying fuck about what some inbred american hick piece of shit thinks about them. In fact, there lyrics prove this. You are just another jelous idiot who can only dream.

  • You have no clue about music period and this is evident. Why dont you research her before you talk shit like an adolecent moron? This video clip is part of a song she wrote that purposly has a crazy feel then extreamly laid back feel. If you seen a few more videos you would know this. She has been around alot longer then most drummers in the industry and there is a reason why she is sponsered by DW and Zildjian.

  • LMAO!!! OK OK....just seeing you in your own video tells me what kind of IQ level Im dealing with LOL. If you really are a musician, I have news for you...people dont like dungeons and dragons music..so just stick to your queer videos you make on youtube and you might go somewhere just like your buddy Chris Crocker. hahahah the nerve of some people commenting to me when there video clearly shows how fucked up they really are hahahahah...WOW!

  • Ok i just saw your channel, seeing all the other comments you've gotten fights in with. I'm going to drop this now, because you're a complete fucking stubborn idiot who likes slipknot.

  • What?? So what if I liked Slipknot? I dont anymore because Im into a real bands like LAMB OF GOD. Your calling me an idiot because I am giving you straight up facts about a professional drummer?? Like I said, your IQ level describes you to a fucking tee. The only reason why I have had arguements with people on this fucking site is because they cant handle the truth. The responses I get usually have nothing to do with the topic at hand but everything to do with jelousy.

  • You re obviously NOT a pro musician, so shut the fuck up, please. You re disturbing our peaceful youtube site. xD

  • Next time you choose to act smarter then me, please bring something relevant to the table. You say im obviously not a pro musician yet where are your facts or evidence fuckface? Sheila E is a pro and all i said was this to be true. So what the fuck are you talking about? By the way, when i post a video on here, you will eat your words really fuckin fast lol.

  • Also, I dont get along with chalumpas who think there words mean something to the world...so fuck off. Everything I said was blatent fact so you are officially fucked in the head.

  • She is one of the baddest female drummers out there it was her time to shine it was not bad love it and to all stop hating jerks

  • There's a difference between playing the drums and pounding the drums. She pounds, she pounds!! No rythmn, just noise. Sounds like a 2nd year student trying to impress his friends.

  • check her out in a different genre. you will understand what you heard a little better. to the untutored would be like opening up a book on differnetial equations withou a firm background in calculus. it would just look like jibberish on a page.

  • FAST!! i love her drums

  • that is not great stuff, i mena i really prefer the way ringo plays the drums, and not this kind of solos, where she is only playing fast, but is not giving a a solid ritmic base

  • i agree.

  • Me too, Its just a display of her playing fast single strokes very loudly, on a bunch of different drums. I don't see anything that is all too musical or rhythmical. I just don't like her style, and honestly, she looks kind of scary playing solos like that!
