So, I found these pics of drum setups (sorry, couldn't find anything for Bobby Z or Kirk) and thought I'd share. Would love to hear from drummers and musicians what you think about the comparison of the setups of Prince's various drummers.

By the way, I tried to get the setup they used at the time they were with Prince; Sheila's setup is from a Modern Drummer interview she did in '91, and I figured it was probably pretty close to what she had during SOTT and Lovesexy, although it might not be what she would do now.

Just presenting in case anyone is interested...

Sheila E:




Michael Bland:




John Blackwell:






Cora Coleman Dunham:

Cool, nice finds
Would love to see what Bobby and Kirk used.
I personally would use Michael B's drum set up with Cora's cymbal setup.
