Nicholas Berkeley "Nick" Mason (born 27 January 1944) is an English drummer and composer, best known for his work with Pink Floyd.
He is the only constant member of the band since its formation in 1965.


As Pink Floyd's recording and touring schedule grew more sporadic, Mason was left with more time to pursue his favourite hobby: motor racing. He owns (through his company Ten Tenths) and races several classic cars, and has competed successfully at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
His collection has been a subject of his 1998 book, Into the Red, in which he documents his experience with his cars, along with some histories.



Drumming style

Influenced by jazz and big band music, Nick was a pioneer who embraced acoustic drums (both single and double headed), tuned percussion, electronic drums and Rototoms, melding all of these into a melodic whole. His snare drum sound shifted from harsh demarcation of beats 2 and 4 ("Careful with that Axe, Eugene") to a fatter and gentler timbre ("Echoes") — a change that reflected growing studio chops.
Mason has been seen as playing a big part in creating the atmosphere and mood in Pink Floyd's compositions.
