The drummer holds the whole thing down. I think a lot of people forget that.

I think Nick's style fits perfect with the rest of the band. It would sound weird and out of place with Ginger Baker style drumming on Dark Side of the Moon or Animals. Their music was never about virtuosity in the first place...

Cabbage is a vegetable.
