Nicholas Berkeley (‘Nick’) Mason (born January 27, 1944 in Birmingham, England) is a musician and the drummer for Pink Floyd.. He is the only member of Pink Floyd with the distinction of having played on all their albums. He is well-known as an automobile collector and has also competed in racing, e.g. the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
He was brought up in Hampstead, London (many online biographies mistakenly cite the street address, Downshire Hill - sometimes as “the Downshire Hills” - as a district of Birmingham) and attended Frensham Heights boarding school, Surrey. He later studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic, where he teamed up with Roger Waters, Bob Klose and Richard Wright in 1964 to form Sigma 6. |
