Prince used a Linn Drum, a pre-MIDI, early-1980's drum machine that was considered state of the art in that day before horses were invented. Don't bother trying to find one, but do a Google search - or a gearslutz search for Linn Drum samples.

If you really want the prince sound, run the signal really hot or get one of those analog over-saturation plug-ins that simulate that sort of thing.

And if you really want that 80's sound, find some Roland TR-808 sounds as well
