Vic Firth - Sheila E

[mrobar113]

love the way she has the drums all setup low profile, not to mention how crazy good she is.

[larsyulia]

what that hi hat is ?

[shrill99]

@larsyulia  Zildjian Platinum Series...I work at the Zildjian Factory in Norwell,Ma... I was the person responsible for Buffing/Polishing her set of Platinums for one of her last tours...Still hasn't come in for the factory tour yet...Very busy lady... ; D

[jazzenterprise]

Sheila !!!!!!!!!!!

[murdok620]

hey first girl drummer ive ever seen and she can blitz me at drumming :(

[conkareno]

ooh that snare is perfect and so is the kit and tthe drummer to haha

[superkadeemx]

@_@ purely awesome and that's all I gotta say about that beautiful skillful woman

[AshDrums7]

good drummer

[alxovalle]

her snare sounds heavenly!

[joshluvscookies]

@alxovalle totally heavenly!

[Ehmcee2010]

WHAT SNARE IS THAT!? like!!

[1224711hoops]

AMAZING! XO sooo inspiring....Thank you Shelia E ~ mad skills with such passion!

[dodoheard]

Great pocket, just sounds like she's horrible at transitioning.

[Bzong]

@dodoheard it's supposed to be abrupt like that...

[The61769]

this sucks

[BlindFist]

@The61769 you fail.

[cleanupbigfoot]

i never liked her, sorry

[Pianodrum95]

Sry, but I don't like this!

[UnrealFingerboards]

fuck, she got chops

[pearldrummer95]

mystery hand at 1:12 above the hi hat

[biggest184]

Joey Jordison is good at what he does which is metal and that's great he couldn't play jazz i don't think or any other genre but i don't think Sheila could play metal as well as Joey so everyone has their fortes so quit bitchin

[Typicus]

A lot of death metal drummers play jazz, also.

[daddydapunker]

haha. deffo NOT!

[Typicus]

What? Go watch Mike Heller.

[Typicus]

Thumbs down? What the fuck?

[drumbum4628]

@biggest184 i disagreeeeee so nasty lol.....all jordison has is remarkable speed and the rest is so simple just rudiments....while this style is smooth, behind the music kind of shit....give sheila double pedals and trust shell put joey to shame..

[tonykronik]

@biggest184 why is jordison always mentioned in videos that have nothing to do with him? there are many other drummers out there people. open your ears and try not to compare musicians to each other.Pros are pros for a reason. they have dedicated themselves to their craft.anyways i'm ranting because i'm tired of hearing drummers being unfairly compared to a select few.

[UnrealFingerboards]

@biggest184 joey cant do much at all, his technique is bad, and he only has skinny fast little legs and fast singles. but his time is, almost adequate

[PREM00SE]

@biggest184 Slipknots 1st album actually has a lot of jazz breakdowns, Yeah i know, pretty surprising. I wouldn't say he "couldn't" play jazz. He definately can.

[DaveDFFA]

@PREM00SE lol, that's not jazz. That's odd timing on rides. Jordison can't really play that well. Just like Kenny G can't really play sax well. If you were really into metal you'd know about the dillinger escape plan and SiKth, who DO incorporate jazz elements into their music. I know all of the slipknot tracks and there is nothing even closely related other than their single "only one". Decent band for what they do, but their market direction sucks. They're also NOT the most talented band ever

[AlexLococo]

@biggest184 joey wasw part of a jazz band at college, however i don't think he could play jazz as good.

[drummakid101]

soft groove ... CRAZY FUCKIN' QUADS AND SEX! ...Back to the soft groove.

[jswitch2010]

This is so hot mann

[roccomilano]

1:40 oh my god...

[drum4life25]

wat a girl 1 of my favs

[DrumTVShow]

This was really great, saw it live, Sheila E Rocks!...

[bcwdrums]

What a snare drum sound...........

[godzuki444]

She is the hotest and talented drummer girl around

[tesnexus1]

okay dont tade this the wrong way i have nothing against her. she is way better than me.

but it just doesnt look normal to me when she plays

[enixo96]

BADD! look the slipknot solo! THE BEST THAN SHEEEEEEEEEEELAAAA NOOOB!

[GtoTheUITAR]

how about look a denise chambers or thomas lang, just to name a few. Besides, Sheela is singing while playing. Measure by talent, not by fast double bass pedaling like joey.... overrated.

[jmmatos23]

Dude I bet you dont know shit about drumming. Joey Jordinson SUCKS! he wont go beyond spreading single strokes around the drum set. You must have a worm in your ears or you just dont know SHIT about drumming.

[sk8nmetalpsycho]

thats sexy :O

[alvarovatak]

quiero un solo con sheila E... x fa

[BWFSabian]

She is fucking amazing.. Love the steel Zildjans but it's a shame that the purple knob, Prince, has denied us of more E on U tube..

[throfte290]

she's using vic firth sticks thats why this vid is called

VIC FIRTH - SHEILA E

[ManOfGod257]

wat kind of stick is she using

[amrospeperlambrlek]

I want to marry her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GentleMenshevik]

one talented lady.

[crlosguzman]

Yeah I agree with some of the users, you don't have to be the fastest drummer alive, is the soul that counts, the rhythm baby the rhythm

[Wolverine51324]

The cowbell groove gives me the image of 21487912875 killer cows on the rampage

[accountingme]

its amazing how she switches from cool and melow to insanity

though not that impressive just..........fast

[JSW588]

i admit defeat

[CHlRS]

not impressed....

[zachplaysdrums]

Same here for the most part. The fast cowbell "groove" thing towards the end was really impressive though.

She's better than me, but I think being a female gets her a little more publicity than she'd get otherwise.

[CHlRS]

i didnt think anything about this woman is impressive. for those of you thumbs downing my comment because i disagree, look up jojo mayer, buddy rich, and danny carey. look up bernard purdie too if you have the time.

[TomBangsDrums]

I liked her performance. Doesn't have to be groundbreaking revolutionary drumming at over 9000 BPM to be good :)

[CHlRS]

youre right, speed does not make a good drummer. when she isnt playing something boring, shes playing something just as boring really fast, right?

[TomBangsDrums]

Haha speed makes excitement, i'd say. She's got good chops, a real steady player.

[latinohomiejo071593]

Wait, so the argument that you're making is that shes not a good drummer because theres some drummers that are better than her?

You sir, are stupid, GTFO of Youtube, shes a good drummer.

[CHlRS]

you completely missed my point but was still arrogantly naiive enough to toss what you thought it was right back at me.

no, sir. YOU are stupid.

[latinohomiejo071593]

OH SHIT, JOJO MAYER IS BETTER THAN ME, I MUST SUCK AT DRUMS, BECAUSE ANYTHING UNDER JOJO IS SUCK.

You smell like onions.

[CHlRS]

typical latino response. you make me sick.

[latinohomiejo071593]

Fuck you, plug up your butthole, its spitting annoying shit out.

[CHlRS]

okay ill stop verbally shitting on your face.

[enixo96]

you go good sheela for noobs

[FavorableBill]

i love how her technique seems stiff but shes incredibly fast

[alfalanciagamma]

Al circo sarebbe grandiosa...se era un uomo andava a fare l'idraulico...ma dimmi te......Chi è che ha mai visto donne suonare come Peter Erskine o Steve Gadd? Ah ecco....

[enzodrums]

wu wu wu!!!grandiosa.........troppo forte...complimentissimi!!!!!

[rhythmjunkie2311]

Anyone know what the song she sings is?

[SDIXON1985]

glamourous life by prince

[rhythmjunkie2311]

Nice one!

[Agape2all]

The song is called The Glamorous Life.

[yeaoooook]

what the fuck was that...

[6mini6ulrich6]

What the fuck are you? She is an amazing drummer. Watch some of her other shit.

[Shirotaka92]

i want them cymbals.

[lalali2323]

whoaah she's a girl?she's a girl o my god she really is a girl god damn it she's a girl?

[RanchoCoral]

daddy taught her well

[magikarpp]

lovely chops

[IIITreyDuPontIII]

FUCK YEA!!!!!

[Glitchezz]

haha niiice

[TaViLlOooO]

ai weeey

[gwillbizzle]

I don't like her style so much, but she is one of the better female drummers out there

[hotdrumchick]

I've always admired her--she's got serious chops!!! Her stick-holding style is strange, tho. She always uses Remo heads, but I don't know what models. I'm glad to see she stopped wearing hi-heels to play in; her feet are probably wrecked !!!

[zoejay]

Stick style: French grip

[quackbeef]

yeah french grip is used in orchestral drumming, it gives great articulation.

[ChuckPaulsen658]

It is also said to help you do single stroke rolls, but i can never get it even and they all end up sounding like flams.

[quackbeef]

yes she is talented. she uses remo clear emperors on toms, a controlled sound reverse dot on snare, and either a stock dw head or a powerstroke 3/4.

[lynnpwilliams]

RIDUCULOUS SHEILA E is MAD on the drums!

[meowskull]

nice hihat

[toptrump890]

that is one nice kit

[lilshowin]

Awesome loved it. what head is she using on the toms though?

[Stratocast83]

lol that was tight

[CheezeyWeezey]

Nice overall, but the intro felt forced.

[wolfy18]

what was her cymbal setup here, anyone know?

[jcbatero]

The Presentation was good because she is an important percussionist in the musical industry at USA, but she isn´t the Latin evolution. If you look drummers like Julio Barreto and Oscarito Valdes from Cuba you can see an evolution in afro style at the drumset.

In this video she tried to play typical grooves or phrases but you can find the same in the Horacio Hernandez´s videos or some others.

[gibspadovani]

damn

[Tudeburger]

To the person who stated

"AW!!!!!! She ain't right for this one!! LOL"

She can perform her own song any way she chooses.

Right? LOL

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Wow - I didn't expect that..

[jb60587]

can anybody tell what heads shes using on the toms?

[CrazySilverSpoon]

After hearing the sound of the tomsound (attack,etc) and sight:p , i guess its Remo clear Emperor!

[brentduanefoster]

AW!!!!!! She ain't right for this one!! LOL

[stavshem]

hhhhhh

[gamnub405]

dang she is gooood

[DrewbiousMaximus]

Sheila you're so sexy!

[mu51cman3]

Shiela E is so friggin cold
