Is it just me or did he bear an eerie resemblance to Danny Bonaducci back in the early days?

Nick's performance in live concerts is amazing. If we watch the videos released, we can understand the real Nick's contribute to P.F. excellency. Performances like in 1970's Kralinger, 1972's Pompeii, 1980/1 The Wall are the perfect examples. And more recently though being "helped" by percussionists like Gary Wallis, he can still do is job.

yeah mason is great, i was trying to copy something that he plays in "Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii" but he has a completely different drum set. he's an amazing drummer! he's one of my favourite drummers

Mason is highly underrated, he actually knows how to play the drums(how many drummers you hear on the radio these days actually know how?), his drumming is distinct, a lot of guitar players you know the second you hear the first chord, with mason and a few other drummers, you know its him, not the flashiest, but still good, damn good.

I'm a guitarist so I usually like watching guitarists, but on Pompeii I was every bit as impressed watching Nick as I was Dave. Maybe even more Very entertaining, very overlooked and very talented.

I never thought he was that great until I saw Pompeii. Even though many would argue, I think he's very unique and I look up to him like I do Bonzo. Of course he's not a "Tree trunk for drum sticks" fellow, but he's versatile, unique and talented as hell. I just said that, but oh well.

He's great of course but does go through drumsticks rather quickly!

Nick rules! His book about the band is (finally) coming out this year... should be awesome!

Look no further than "Into the Red/At the Limit," his finely illustrated and well-written book on the world of auto racing and collecting. Comes with a free CD of car noises (no, really!).
