There is a lot more going on in these tracks with the drums than just playing back the samples. Most of the samples especially the ones you are noticing that stick out to your ears have been treated with pitch shifting- using eventide harmonizer, and/or slowing down sounds tracked to tape, phased/doubled, and Prince was super intricate on the way each sound is gated. Listen to most of the great tracks with the Revolution and you will notice that no two of the snares or claps are alike. Prince emphasized and syncopated the beats using gates. Different treatments for each sample really, and different treatments for the same sample depending on where it was located in the measure.
