Nick's Drumming Style (Poll)
Referring to the question; don't focus on a single era, choose the more generally fitting one.

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.
