You know you’re good and you know your shit when Stewart Copeland sitting there all wide-eyed with a smile on his face Way to go Sheila you are the matriarch of drumming!!!!!
I love this explanation of drumming‼️ Control and knowing when to show out and when to let the rhythm breathe really separates good drummers from great drummers👏🏾👏🏾‼️‼️
Y'know... I never really gave her a chance. I remember seeing her videos on MTV (a television channel that played music videos back in the 80s) and since I was into Rush and Slayer, not only did I dismiss almost all the music on MTV, I just saw her as a singer standing behind some drums and stuff. Much like the way a singer at the time would use a guitar to have something to dance with. Not to play. Basically, part of their wardrobe. But then I heard her name recently and discovered that she was indeed, a talented musician. I wrote Prince off the same way. I had no idea that he was such a great man and a great musician until after he died. Its mind blowing discovering all the talent I basically ignored or avoided by refusing to listen to pop music.
@@watsonira7 Shelia E is..like words cannot express .. I call her the QUEEN OF PERCUSSION and I stand to my words when I said it... we're talking about a woman who is a true PRODIGY... playing drums at 5 years old? That is like whoa......and to come from a family of legendary musicians.. I believe that Shelia E should of gotten her flowers a loonnnng time ago... I appreciate the Latin Grammys given a lifetime achieved award... but she shouldn't had to wait that long... to play for George Duke, Michael Jackson, Confushun, i know the list is longer than that plus to play and create music with Prince.. I honestly respect Prince soo much though because.. Shelia E voice and music was heard through her albums.
@@melissaleoncreolenola you could also say to work with Sheila E was pure gold for Prince. Before Prince she worked with Herbie Hankook, The Jacksons, George Duke and Stevie Wonder, so Prince was just one more, but a more intense and longer lasting collaboration and relation, of course. Prince was not that goid thanks to talent, he was veey good because he worked harder than most other musicians. That is the secret that actually is no secret
Thanks for this great footage of Sheila E. The notes she plays near the end, right before going into "Kiss" reminded me of the beginning of Wishing Well.
Sheila: “… in a way less is more. it's when not to play so even if we have all of this here doesn't mean that I have to play it all…“ Stewart: Oh, shit.
Playing true *Funk*.. those ghost-notes are paramount for the *feel* of the music. Aka "playing with swag." Done right--- and listeners cannot control themselves when they're moving bodies.. head and feet. They're under the control of the music. Sheila's example of James Brown's drummer hit the nail on the head.
I think of drummers like John Blackwell, Maurice Bland, Bobby Z. But GOOD LORD you have no choice but to acknowledge Sheile E , Hannah Welton as also standout drummers for Prince.
The term "ghost note" came from drum corps when heavy lines like Boston Crusaders would play flam patterns but not hit the tap or accent and only play the grace notes as a psych to the drum judge. The correct term should be GRACE notes because that is what they are.
It's disappointing hearing her say "James Brown" and not Clyde Stubblefield-James Brown's drummer, who has been sampled by everybody from Sinead O'Connor to NWA and none of those pricks even mentioned him on their albums. I wonder what it's like to be one of the world's most underappreciated drummers.

Discipline is when not to play. Wow !
Great concept, many drummers showboat or simply play over the music.
Thank you Sheila E

Sheila E was the shit and she still is to me. I love her. She has that untouchable soul.

I love how you explain what MTV is.
I think Sheila E is the perfect example (like Carlos Santana) of one who adds soul to the sounds, simple but yet delightful.
Sheila E one of the greatest women in music business
Yesssssss
One of the greatest means you can name some that are close or better.
@@watsonira7 Shelia E did more R&B ,Rock, pop, funk and Latin Jazz ... I mean to work with Prince is like pure gold

Two of my favorites, two of my angels/heros/inspirations in one room....pretty epic. God bless. 🙏❤🙏
2 of my favorite drummers. As much as I love some Stewart, seeing Sheila E get down is super cool
Watch her video playing timbales along with Tito Puente "El Rey del Timbal" .. it is genius..
in my opinion Sheila is a little bit superior, but Stewart is good too
Absolutely love her!
OMG, LOVE ME SOME SHEILA E, SHE A WORLD CLASS MASTER DRUMMER
still one of the most talented and sexiest musicians of all time.
Thanks for this great footage of Sheila E. The notes she plays near the end, right before going into "Kiss" reminded me of the beginning of Wishing Well.
I been a fan of her since i was a kid in the 90s great video
Two of my favourites. Fantastic. 😎
Perhaps the greatest female percussionist ever hands down. But then again her dad?? Hello!!!
Yes. 2 of my 3 personal favorite drummers 👍
Is Neil Peart the other one?
Amazing drum sound, and, of course, amazing woman...! I love her ...! (and Stewart too...)
Stewart and Shiela E, a drumming dream team for bassists 🤘🏻
¿Stewart Copeland?
I love them!!!💖💖two musicians stars!!!
"Give shape to the air between the beats..." So well put and so well played. What an amazing teacher/musician/person, etc, etc. 😊
Never knew about her until i saw this doc. 🙆♂️ Yes, out of my world. Every video is amazing, that solo in the Sign of the times video 🤯
Sheila: “… in a way less is more. it's when not to play so even if we
have all of this here doesn't mean that I have to play it all…“
Stewart: Oh, shit.
Such a cute and sweet person and an amazing artist !!!!!
She was one of the most charismatic people around on 80s music videos.
..thank u so much .. it was like sugar and honey and chocolate .. joyful ... ..peace ..! .. rip Prince.
Lobe love love her💖this one is great. Loved learning about the silent beats
Ghost beats
Beautiful masterclass from the master Shelia E!
I could listen to her all day!
It was halfway through when I realized that was Stewart Copeland.
The QUEEN OF THE TIMBALES &THEN SOME!!
A national treasure!!! Sheila!

Long live Clyde Stubblefield!
Oh great full and absolute drumer is Sheila. Hai fine 🙏❤️🙏👍
love the vids with her dad and with Tito Puente as well
Ah ha ! Ghost notes were in all the Prince 🎵 🎵 songs.
When she started playing prince's song, I was like noooooo don't end yet!!!!!! 😃😯😟😒☹😩😭😭😭😭
Her 2 and 4 is nonetheless unmistakably HER 2 and 4. This is what is meant by the pocket!
yeah I used to love playing the ghost notes
Love for her ❤️
LOVE HER!!!
Dang. That woman is aging verrrry well. 🤩

I love this lady
That woman is still an incredible drummer
....AND overall percussionist, don't forget
DRUM GODS STEWART COPELAND AND MISS SHEILA FUCKIN E!!!!! : )
James Brown called the the 'Fatback' groove.
I thought you passed.
OMG Much love.
I love the fact the sound is so bad, but the message so loud, it almost adds to it :-)
Spettacolare Funk woman🤗
I LOVE SHEILA E
She is and will ever be smoking hot untill she is 100
Awesome madam.
Love Sheila
Still smokin hot!
Thing is a scientist!
Basically solid...Thanks
These 2 should've done a drum duet
❤🎶
DJ portorro in the mix. Amen god bless. My wife Elisa Cruz Gonzalez. Emisora Nuevo Amenancer. 👍
Some of the loudest ghost notes ive ever heard
Ha that was fun!

Great advice
She nailed the brief...👍
exactly
natural born drummer...
Luv sheila
CLYDE STUBBLEFIELD!
Isteni drága
Stewart!
Hubba hubba
wow
She's got a great pocket/groove. Not a huge fan of her singing - LOVE her drumming!!!
Stuart Coppeland y Sheila E faltó Juanita Parra de los jaivas
Were the same age I get itl...
What song is she drumming in the first part?
Josh Nicholson that’s James Brown’s cold sweat! Great song!! 😎🎷
unitas33 thanks! Playing it on the loop right now!!!
@@joshnicholson802 ruclips.net/video/o7UgfgDtzUY/видео.html
So. I guess I'm an extremely undisciplined drummer then... ;-)
I assume she is talking about Clyde Stubblefield.
yup
@@CraigMansfield Cool 😎
James had other drummers. Clyde played on some of James' most memorable hits and was his most sampled drummer.
@@brownin329 Yes but sounds she is describing Cold Sweat
The term "ghost note" came from drum corps when heavy lines like Boston Crusaders would play flam patterns but not hit the tap or accent and only play the grace notes as a psych to the drum judge. The correct term should be GRACE notes because that is what they are.
Ghost notes serve a rhythmic function; they are played to add spice to a groove. Grace notes serve a melodic function; they add spice to a melody.
It's disappointing hearing her say "James Brown" and not Clyde Stubblefield-James Brown's drummer, who has been sampled by everybody from Sinead O'Connor to NWA and none of those pricks even mentioned him on their albums.

How a view football.
She is good but because of prince to did teach her stuff on the drums
Watch Pete escovedo her dad. I don't think Prince can take all the credit
No. She taught Prince. Prince wasn't as good on the drums as Sheila and she had been a musical force out of the Bay area before he even got started.
Why does everything a woman does well has to be attributed to some man? Sheila E. is talented all by her damn self!
correct overpaying is annoyingly for the ear...
her right hand is boring
She's as drummer and doesn't even credit the actual drummer, "James Brown". FOH
Basics drum skill. Listen to Neil peart if you want to hear a real drummer
Clyde Stubblefield has never been basic.
They are both mediocre drummers.
Says the man who never had a hit😏...
