Nick's Drumming Style (Poll) - Pig (The Third One) - 12-20-2009 12:50 PM
Referring to the question; don't focus on a single era, choose the more generally fitting one.

You've never heard Acid Police? Man, you ain't even living yet.

In between. Nick could play either and is much better than most people think.
I would pick him over any of the following:
Vinnie Colaiuta
Gavin Harrison
Mike Portnoy
Dave Weckl
Steve Gadd
Thomas Lang
Akira Jimbo
Bill Stewart
He is a much more mature and tasteful drummer/percussionist and musician then any of them.

In all seriousness, I never noticed his drumming at all. I think that says enough.

Maybe that is a sign of how great his drumming is? It is so great it fits into the music perfectly and does not stick out. That is very rare.

Relaxed of course. Maybe "concentrated" is a better term. Mason composed a piece for each and every song and knew perfectly what he was doing.

Nick Mason.. Definitely my favorite drummer. It isn't like the drumming people are used to, he has his own style. Above, it was said his drumming goes unnoticed, or that it doesn't stick out. I think it stuck out, but in a great way. I guess it's something I listen for - - making it stick out on purpose. Overall, I think his drumming is relaxed...when it needs to be, it generally fits the rest of the music, whether it is upbeat or relaxed.

I completely agree with you here. Nick Mason and Neil Peart are my favorite drummers. theyre great guys and they know music/percussion

I said "in between". There were times when his drumming was really intense and frenetic because that's what the song called for, but then there were many other times when it was very subdued and laid-back. I think he balanced it well.
RE: Nick's Drumming Style (Poll) - wot's uh the deal? - 03-10-2010 02:04 AM
mason 's drumming around 70-73 was like a cross between Ringo Starr and Ginger baker. I end up playing a bit like him when I play/record the drums because I like those flowing fills on the toms.
