The story goes that he went to see a Cream concert in the mid-sixties with Roger; after witnessing what havoc Ginger Baker could wreak, Nick upgraded to a double kit as soon as he could. He's not the most technically accomplished pedallist, to be sure, but he can hold down an interesting twin-kick triplet groove that is made all the more impressive while Roger is making those aggressive octave-thwacking noises with his bass.

I think it's rather an impressive sound, myself.
