>>>every fill he does, however simple, is PERFECT for the music.
Absolutely. Nick does more with less than any drummer I know of. Most of the drummers that I admire tend to assault the drum kit like the Allies on Normandy Beach, but Mason is an exemplification of "less is more." Perfect for the Floyd sound, also, since Gilmour is much the same as a blues/rock guitarist.
Chuck Okun of Djam Karet spent his time at Mason's virtual feet, I feel sure.
