Morris Day on drums on New Power Generation?

I always thought it was either Michael B or Prince doing the drums on the song "New Power Generation". However, Wikipedia states that it's Morris Day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ion_(song)

Is this truth?

Yeah, it's Morris, the bootleg demo version has just the acoustic drums on that track, a very basic dry beat, then for the album version they overlaid electronic drums and reverb I think.

The bootleg version has a tighter feel and I like the dry beat.
