Amazing drum set and I’m so amazed to see the PsychOctopus Giga Bell Ride 18” over there! ❤️
Aquiles!!!!
Right??!!
This gentleman is the heartbeat of a legend. Very glad to see he is still rocking on.
Going to see the show tonight in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺

@@underbedmonstersmusic Shine on, brother.
Could I have eggs, sausage, chips and beans and a tea😎 Lovely kit, but the invisible one used in the See Emily Play promo is still number one for me 👍
And a piece of apple pie. NO CRUST!!
Watching and listening to Nick's drumming in Live in Pompeii was the reason for me to learn to play drums back when I was a teenager. Such an inspiration ✨️
Same.
Gorgeous drum set! Nick mason is an absolute legend 🥁
One of the Greatest Drummers of all time..
Nick at near 80 years of age still playing and into his music is an inspiration 🎶 His playing 🥁 on DSOTM is amazing Breathe Time& Us & them all stand out as an Integral part of P.Floyd's sound.
One of the most under rated drummers in rock history. Like Ringo... He played for the songs.
I've seen Nick Mason perform live and he is solid as a rock.
Legend right here in front of us. Thank you for this. I’ll shut up and listen.
I saw the Saucerful of Secrets show in 2019…really enjoyed it.
Seen him and his band live: absolutely amazing
I was at this show at the Moore Theater in Seattle. It was indeed an amazing show! One of the highlights of it being on Halloween night was that everyone including Nick got in the spirit of the holiday. Nick did his encore in a whole head devil mask, which I have a picture of and will cherish forever! I also have a signed drum head from the man himself. Truly the highlight of 2022 for me was getting to see the one and only Nick Mason - finally in person and in a smaller, intimate setting - after so many years of him being such an influence in my own playing. Just so wonderful. If you have a chance to see him, do it and don't look back. Thank you Modern Drummer Official for the video!
Would love to see Mason, Gilmore and Rogers do one last Pink Floyd stadium tour for the fans.... Before it's too late! 🤘🇺🇸🇬🇧
I can dream, can't I?
Never going to happen. Waters hates them really
@@markrushton1516 And they hate him. Done him dirty lately as well. Quite sad, really.
Way too late. There’s no Rick Wright.
Easily the coolest drummer of his generation.
Legend. He shaped part of modern music history.
the performance in set the controls for the heart of the sun should never be forgotten 🥁
Outstanding
So much love!!! Fell in love with you when I was 13 and never feel out ... Honored to have so influenced by you. Thank you for sharing. 💕
ALWAYS a pleasure to see & hear Nick, a GREAT musician and such an affable, likeable person!
👍👍👍
3 thoughts here:
1) Nick must be the living proof that all those vibrational gong healing bowl twiddling New Age wannabe shamans are onto something and it's not all bullsh*t - just look at how those gong smashing vibrations have kept him in good health & good mood!
😉
2) Like any good gentleman, Nick also knows that having "an extra inch or two" is certainly not a bad thing!
😉
3) Good folks at @ModernDrummerOfficial - for the love of all things holy, PLEASE buy a lapel/lavalier microphone for these interviews!!!
🤦🏻♂️
Thanks Nick for sharing your kit. I have seen Pink Floyd many times and your shows are always amazing. You're drumming is spot on. Very cool. Rock on.
Man I love practicing Nick's drum stuff, simple but artistic in so many ways! Looks like Mason switched to wood snares. In most of studio recordings, it list Nick using mostly Paiste 2002's, but also signature rides and crashes in other areas. If cymbal wiki is correct, he started using Paiste signature b20 alloy cymbals into the 2000's..
"Oh well,. this is my new and improved drumkit. Never mind the Formule 1 car standing in the way. I've got some more of those."
This guy is next level amazing. Recently read his book Inside Out,. it meanders along the whole road of Floyd and the sheer wit and fun just permeates through every page and story.
'I'd like egg, sausage, chips n beans ..and a tea please... and an apple pie without the crust"
I play bass, and to a lesser extent, the guitar but I love seeing the technical stuff like this even if I don't play the drums. And Nick is keeping the Pink Floyd legacy going with dignity. Unlike those other two bickering seniors.
I absolutely 100% did not expect to see Aquiles' mega bell ride on that kit.
They said it's 18 inch too!
Look at those toms 😍. Just bought a Roland TD07 DMK to start my drumming journey.
I would love to go see him in concert.
even Nick's sticks look bigger, and with the bigger shell sizes he must rattling the guts in those venues...and a 24" china ! damn...It takes alot of wood to make that metal sing. I recently started playing Paiste after playing Zildjian & Sabian for 45+ years. I've always wanted to here the story behind the Japanese painting, a perfect motif for drum shells & heads. It's great to see Nick still playing and touring that early material, I love the early Floyd.
My hunch is he doesn't hit them as hard these days because of age or other physical issues, so he needs a bigger sound.
A bit like Federer moving up a racquet size in his final years.
Can I ask how you like your PAISTE cymbals?
I became a PAISTE person when they introduced the Signature line.
Can I get another hour of that camera on Nick please? Man that kit sounds great. That snare is tuned so perfect.
Hokusai's ' Great Wave ' is a woodcut , not a painting . One of the Thirty Six Views of Mt Fuji , begun when the master was in his 70s .
Thank you Nick for being one of a few drummers that I practiced to and got your drum beats down to all of Pink Floyd's music. In my Personal Opinion Nick you and Neal Peart have to be the Best in the World
Nick Mason totally mystifies me.
His drumming pre-1973 was vital and powerful and inventive. Then he got really laid back and basic in his approach with the exception of the 1977 In the Flesh tour, which he killed it on.
The real mystery is that by 1986-87, Gilmour stated that Nick was so out of practice that session drummers were brought in to record "...Lapse Of Reason", and the Tour had to have a surrogate drummer (that hyperactive prick who played w/Nick Kershaw) before Nick could handle it, which he did early on.
How do you "lose it" like that, as much as Mason had played previously?
Though I don't respect him much, the same thing with Peter Criss. His playing went down so bad (according to the others) he was replaced on the late 70s albums and eventually fired. (I'm sure the coke, and the 'don't care' attitude didn't help)
I always assumed drumming was like riding a bike. Maybe a couple of days practicing to shake the rust off, and the muscle memory is back.
Sorry for the long reply!
@@JasonSmith-jr7jhafter The Final Cut, Nick Mason went into kind of a retirement. He spent time off racing cars and with his family which I don’t blame him, I would be exhausted after Roger. When Nick was called back up he obviously hadn’t been playing drums so he was obviously out of practice. But the reason they hired Gary Wallis was because he controlled the samples, and extra percussion like Timbales, Cowbells, Gongs, and him drumming along with Nick thickened the drum sound out more.
@@JasonSmith-jr7jhagree totally. From the "Delicate Sound" tour on they had Gary Wallis as the surrogate drummer. He did mostly cover electronics and accents, but he did also play fills that were certainly NOT what one could call "challenging" but ...and Peter Criss? He god-awful. He never lost that habit of believing his own hype, and along with thinking he's a John Lennon -type songwriter and as good a singer as Rod Stewart, I can imagine how insufferable he would be to put up with.
@@yourlocalryan True. Sorry to criticize Gary, as he's a fine drummer. But when I first saw him with Kershaw (and later with Floyd) his schtick of setting the cymbals up high on the 'drum-rack' so he had to jump up and hit 'em (while kicking his legs back to add extra attention) came across as "Look at ME!", and rubbed me the wrong way.
The polar opposite of what Floyd's onstage persona was about. Thanks for the Reply!
@@toddmorrissey8372 Re: Peter Criss. He and another guy wrote BETH (Methinks it was more the other guy) but Gene and Paul maintain that the song's "Hook" was not from Peter. Also Bob Ezrin got credit on that, for good reason. But boy, did he milk that cow!
If he DID write it, how come he never wrote anything else? His solo records were abysmal and for the most part he didn't even drum on 'em!
As a drummer, when he was good, he was good...but never great.
I actually feel sorry for him.
He's had to eat an awful lot of humble pie over the years.
legend
This crazy diamond keeps shining on
I love the graphics. I noticed the mounted toms on the original Ludwig kit had a black (or maybe brown) fade into the creme white. His mounted toms on this version have less of a fade. Overall it looks fantastic. You can not go wrong with traditional Japanese artwork. I would love to have a set like that in my living room. I especially like the accents like the blue hoops on the bass drums. I also saw photos where it appeared they were lighting the bass drums from inside similar to the Tivoli lights on a Vistalite kit. Classy.
LOVE!
Come to Brasil with this tour Nick!!!
If you haven’t seen this band, I highly recommend it.
Phenomenal sound, phenomenal tour.
my second fav drummer of all time
love him
thanks for the entertaining video ! in that clip of set the controls i hear that bass player has all the dynamics of a cement truck and the tone of an electrified hippopotamus fart .
I was sitting 5th row center at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California during Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. He threw his drumstick which hit my hand and fell between the chairs. Somebody put it in their shirt and it was gone. So bummed. My favorite band for such a long time and a drummer for forty years.
👏👏👏👏👏
Number 1
Ho ascoltato questo brano dal vivo nel 1971 a Rotterdam ed Amsterdam dal vivo indimenticabile Mason .anche senza lui non sono più i veri Pink si perde la magia del gruppo.solo uniti sono loro!Dainese Aldo.
Pink Floyd doesn't sound like Pink Floyd without Nick Mason. End of story
I may be crazy but why does the sound and feel is that of Tool. I love it.
Darn, very flower power theme on that kit. Looks very good, and a great drummer too of course. Great podcast. [edit] no octapads or some sort, on the kit?
24 inch china! Ive got the 22, amazing cymbal but dont make them in that size anymore 😢 i was lucky to get the last one in NZ!
meu deus!!! o MESTRE GENIO!!
@ 10:27 a Los Rieleros del Norte kit right next to Pink Floyd´s and Rush´s kits.... Nicely done, vato.
I've always admired his blast beats on the kicks. Be honest a basic Ringo kit would be fine for this guy/music
Hey he's got the GigaBell ride, so you know he's slamming some skank beats and blasts too! Yeah, you're right, but he's always had a double bass kit, though I've never even heard him do pedalling 8th notes, let alone 220 bpm blasts.
Apart from that clip with all the tuned toms. Can’t see that working on a 4 piece 😂
I think the double kicks are more
For air when he plays the ride. Quick double 16th etc
Chad Smith had a kit with the same theme. Many years ago. So cool to me a millionaire…
8:47 - 🤷♂️I watched the Liverpool leg of their Tour but I don’t remember any anecdotes regarding that Gong🤔!?
The Ludwigs blew the D-dubyas away!!!
Вы работали у Тины Терн в Голландии на концерте 2009 год ?
Nick is such a legend. It's a very close race between he and Nick as to who's the most underrated member of Pink Floyd.
Yeah the two Nicks were quite a team 🙄
The kicks look like they're different depths. 18 and 16 maybe?
Maybe different height too, 20” right, 22” left?
Its the Aquiles Priester megabell?
I think you are even better now than 1974
NM IS ROWBUST, STELLER AND STILL ROCKS TO THI$ DAY...
JESUS LOVES YOU NICK.
SO DOES CHRIST!!!!
With all the hype John good put on his DW shells its interesting in a kit rundowm they dont even mention the DW drum model.
Saucer full of secrets
@@latentsea that's not a DW model
Collectors Series, I'd love to know what the shells are made from(type wood)
👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Can I have your old Ludwig drums?
Nick Mason "AND NO CRUST!!" David Gilmour. "I don't care which piece I get."

Now I know how to pronounce Paiste!
This guy sounds like the Dark side of the moon Q&A
And here they are next to my Ferrari F1 car. No big deal.
Well that looked easy
It's simple no big deal drumming. And why has he had a 2nd drummer on tour playing at the same time? I know why
It's a shame that it seems DW is just bying off every big name drummer, as if they are the best of the best. Many fans on Neil Peart pointed out that his Tama drums sounded better than the latter DW drums, and I agree.
Hard to beat those vintage Japanese Tama’s. Some of them have a tight punchiness that I haven’t heard in any other kits.
Peart's tuning seemed to have been a factor, too. He kept tuning them tighter and tighter.
Their R-30 tour kicked off in Nashville, and the DWs sounded like tin cans. By the Limelight ending, the snare finally started sounding right.
Didn't know if it was Sound Engineer problems, the way too tight tuning or the DWs?
Maybe a combination of all three?
The TAMAs sounded GREAT on EXIT... STAGE LEFT (album and video) and the Ludwig's weren't bad, either.
Pretty sure that they play what they want and like
You’re 100% correct on this. I was a fan of Nick’s Premier kit and Neil sounded best on Ludwig’s IMO.
DW has the deep pockets to do this, and it’s good that some tell them to kick rocks when they show up.
Tbh I think dw are way overrated I like Ian pace he kept with pearl drums never turned his back on them everyone uses bloody dw overrated imo!!
I’ll never understand why people gush over DW.
He should smack David Gilmour with those ginger mallets.
Yes he should
Why does everyone play DW??
When I saw them the drums were mixed way louder than the original. Supposed to be better. I left.
Cool video but the audio is horrible. Volume is 2/10
All these Musicians are really Aging
He pronounced DW as D-double-you....lol....Thanks for this amazing video MD...!!
W is a "double U" thats how its said, not some retarded american dubba-ya.
Pretty much how it’s supposed to be pronounced no?
Unless you’re from west Texas & then it’s “D-Dubya”
Yes, George W. refers to his kit as D-Dubya’s. “Lerah, I’m gonna go rock my D-Dubya’s, if anybuddy calls, tell em’ I’m out choppin’ wood”.
@@latentsea You beat me to it!
"I set this kit up for him in 1971."
- Roger Waters.
I thought Roger played the drums by shoving the sticks up his arse whilst playing lead guitar with his teeth and keyboards with his hands, then getting a surrogate bass player in?
Sounds about right.
Marmalade….I like Marmalade
Bloody Audio is terrible. Had to have my surround up to 50 just to hear what Nick was saying.
He use to play Ludwig. I'm a Ludwig fan. And Pro mark?! No better stick than Vic Firth! Other than that, Nick is a bad ass!
Vic has better models, promark better Woody imo.
@@davidperez5089 that is true
Pro mark forward balanced, and select balance are pretty nice sticks.
Слава России!!!
For a magazine that all about "sound", the sound is downright terrible on the interviews. Get some proper kit for that...
I enjoyed this video, but I have to say Nicks current drum sound is just "out of a can" Nothing like the original sounds and set ups. The Paiste cymbals he is using are nothing like the Giant Beats he used back in the 1970s. Not that I want to go back to the 1970s... I just don't want to listen to over processed music. IMHO
His ludwig kit was better
Can’t hear half of what the man is saying 👎🏻
Boring.
