Re: Nick Mason

Hallo Leute,

i know anybody thinks that Mason is less important than the other pf-members.
For the sound(and only for the sound!) of PF he is (i think!) even more important than Roger Waters (with his shitty bass-playing).
He has a very unique style of drumming, too: Just listen to older songs like "echoes" or "Careful with that axe". It's magic.
I know this because i'm a drummer, too.

Also, Mason was the member who did a large amount of sound effects on their 70s LPs.

To eugenesaxe:
i know persons like you. Many people think that drumming consists of hitting some toms, the bass-drum, the snare and the hihat in the right order. But it's far more to it than this. It is very difficult to get a beat grooving.

der Sülli.
