Sheila, hands-down. P's feel on the drums is based on a rather simplistic in-the-pocket sort of style, and he pays extra attention to the groove with fills that arent exactly flashy (not counting his genius use of the LINN. I'm talking purely acoustic drumming). Morris is the same except hes a harder hitter and his chops are a bit more refined. Sheila does all of the above, except her chops are flashy as hell and very complicated and complex at times. I've seen Sheila do things that have made my eyes pop out of their sockets, and her approach/feel is SOOOOO fluent like her skills came naturally with little to no hard work and practice. In other words: her DNA is rhythm-based and playing the drums with such ease to her is compareable to us making our morning pot of coffee. Shes got great hands, great hand to eye coordination, and shes really stepped her double bass game up too. Chick is a total fox. Not bad for a girl, right? cool



Have you heard the Madhouse albums and The Flesh?


Just. Wow!
What?

I'm just curious in regards to those who are more knowledgeable on the topic than I, for each artist, which song best serves as the best example for their respective drumming ability?

[Edited 4/28/15 12:26pm]

we dont really get to hear a lot of

Morris Day studio or live. I listened to the song known to have Morris on the drums

and you can hear his distinct sound.

Let's Work extended is Morris Day and he stands out

But of course on those album songs he had to play a specific beat, it wasn't about showing his skill so to speak
