Is Nick Mason under-rated as a drummer? I think so, when i listen to the drums in songs such as "Mother" and other classic Floyd songs. But I've never seen him in any top 100 drummers list's or anything like that.

He's definitely underrated. Some songs are really added to by his drum and percussion work. Can't remember which ones right now (too early in the morning, not enough sleep). Have to dig out all the albums and remind myself!

Absolutely. His drum work on "Sheep" is incredible.

Sheep, ah yes, I'd forgotten about that one. I definitely agree.

Agree about Final Cut. Also his drumming on the more upbeat tracks from Piper is great, and the whole of Dark Side... Never known him to do any bad drumming so far as I can remember, actually. Must be one of my favourite drummers ever. Oh, yes, and his drums on Animals, especially Dogs - top drawer.

It's true Keith Moon was absolutely sensational on drums. I didn't think you knew the first thing about The Who, regan? Also Ginger Baker (Cream) and John Bonham (Zeppelin) are perhaps the best that ever lived. I'd like to think Mason would be in a list of great drummers, as PFOnline suggested, if there were one.
