I feel like he is a very underrated drummer. A lot of his stuff is much more difficult to play than you would think.

Agree. He's not in the A Tier but he's good and rarely gets much credit. I saw his Saucerful of Secrets tour and it was really good if you go for early Floyd.

He is in a band with David Gilmour.


He will always be in the background. Unfortunately.

Agreed, good drummer, but not going to say he's one of the best, but I love pre-DSOTM Floyd, would have loved to see them do the early material! This virus crap has destroyed live music!

When he got his royalty check for DSOTM, people thought he was crazy to spend so much on his Ferrari GTO...guess who got the last laugh?? GTO's are going for insane prices over the past 10 years...
Of note, he also got Gilmore into cars, they did the La Carrera Panamericana race in Mexico, I know there was a movie or video about it...

He was a great feel and atmosphere drummer - perfect for the Floyd.

Live at Pompei: One of These Days

One of my favorite vids. Story is that the rest of the footage of this track was lost so the video of this song is just Nick.

There’s part around 4:40 where he loses a stick mid roll, finishes the roll one handed while drawing another, then shoots the camera a “Get off my bitch, I’m Nick Motherfricking Mason” look.

shite rules.
