That's interesting because Nick is actually an amazing drummer.

When I had written that comment, I didn't mean to underplay his skill or anything.

Thinking of the individuals in Pink Floyd, how I see it: Richard Wright and David Gilmour are absolute icons for their respective instruments. Gilmour's guitar composition and song-writing ability were absolutely stellar and distinct. Wright's composition and atmosphere, choice in tone, and performance are also so distinct, wonderful, crucial, and absolutely characteristic of Floyd. Waters' lyricism is some of if not my absolute favorite in rock music. From what I understand behind the curtain, Waters' was more of the "idea guy" than a hardcore composer and I think those ideas (especially Animals) translated well.

Then there's Nick. No means a bad drummer, and the band would be different with someone else, but I think his identity and personality is less distinguished within the music of Pink Floyd. Maybe that's the nature of drumming, or maybe I'm totally off-base. I've always been curious what Floyd would have sounded like with a drummer who was less standard-rock.

I might be off-base, and I know there'll be many who disagree with me. My dad says Nick Mason's the one of the most perfect rock drummers in classic rock. I get it. To me, IMO, his drumming style never matched the grandiose vision of the other three during the band's prime.

/arbitrary rant.

Good rant, though. He isn't flashy, but it feels like he can do anything.



Also his kit was the first I saw with two bassdrums outside metal, and young Egarran had much respect for that.

He definitely throws in some neat fills when needed, but I do agree that in the studio, he supplies more of the backdrop for the music rather than being the highlight.

^ Now that you both say that, I remember I was thoroughly impressed with his Live at Pompeii performance. Such an awesome concert.
