Damn straight she is THE best at what she does, man or women. My boyfreind didn't think that any women could play as good as man. Shiela sent me her CD and he didn't know who he was listen to. My boyfreind went on and on about the drumming. Finally he asked who that was. I said Shiela E. He was floored and he is a drummer himself.! I loved you on the Alma awards the other night, that was some hot drumming with Pitbull. Don't ever stop. CJ Andrea's mom
The title of this video makes it sound like Sheila E was simply a "band member" who worked for Prince..WRONG! She was an artist in her own right way before she met Prince working with her dad's famous band, and she had her own hit singles, and simply worked with Prince on and off throughout the years. Sheila E is considered one of the BEST drummers/percussionists in the world. She was even called one of the best by the Legend Tito Puente. Pay the lady her props folks. The woman is a LEGEND!
Nightbird: about 20 y ago i even got kissed by this lady when she was in munich germany at a drum sesson with Ndugu Chancler ;-) Since then i had two more favorite drummer gods besides Steve Gadd and Billy Cobham

Ms. Escovedo is one of the most recognizeable and talented musicians (male or female) in the world.
You can say the names of other female drummers, and non-musicians might say "Who?!?", but say "Sheila E." and they'll go "Oh, yeah!"
(And her brother, Pete, is Nicole Ritchie's biological dad.)
