Nicholas Berkeley "Nick" Mason (born 27 January 1944) is an English drummer, best known for his work with Pink Floyd. He has been the only constant member of the band since its formation in 1965. He also competes in auto racing events, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Musical career
Mason has been the drummer on every Pink Floyd album (but not on every song; some session drummers have been used).
Despite legal conflicts over ownership of the name 'Pink Floyd', Roger Waters and Nick Mason are now on good terms. Mason joined Waters on the last two nights of his 2002 world tour to play drums on the Pink Floyd song "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", and he also played drums on some concerts of Waters' European tour in 2006, and during performances in Los Angeles and New York City in the United States. On 12 May 2007, Mason joined Waters again on stage at Earls Court to play The Dark Side of the Moon.
In July 2005, Mason, Gilmour, Wright, and Waters played together on stage for the first time in 24 years. A four song set was played at the Live 8 concert in London. Mason also joined David Gilmour and Richard Wright for the encore during Gilmour's show at the Royal Albert Hall, London, on 31 May 2006, reuniting the post-Waters Pink Floyd. Mason has also claimed to be the link between Gilmour and Waters, and believes the band will play live again. His answers have ranged from "playing again for a charitable cause" to "a tour" given in various interviews in the last few years. He also stated in 2006 that Pink Floyd have not officially disbanded yet.
The only Pink Floyd songs that are solely credited to Mason are "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party Parts 1-3" (from Ummagumma) and "Speak to Me" (from The Dark Side of the Moon). The one-off song by the band entitled "Nick's Boogie" was named after him.
The only times Mason's voice has been included on Pink Floyd's albums are "Corporal Clegg", the single spoken line in "One of These Days" and spoken parts of "Signs of Life" and "Learning to Fly" (the latter taken from actual recording of Mason's first solo flight) from A Momentary Lapse of Reason. He does, however, sing lead vocals on two unreleased but heavily bootlegged tracks, "Scream Thy Last Scream" (1967) and "The Merry Xmas Song" (1975–76). In live performances of the song "Sheep", he did the spoken section.
Unlike the other members of Pink Floyd, Mason has rarely played an instrument other than his usual one (drums), although he has contributed sound effects to many Pink Floyd albums. He has only ever played non-percussive instruments on "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party", his personal composition from Ummagumma, where he provided some keyboard, guitar and bass noises, and on live versions of "Outside the Wall", where he played acoustic guitar along with the rest of the band. He has claimed that he took some failed violin and piano lessons as a child. However, on the Profiles album Nick released with Rick Fenn in 1985, he is also credited with keyboards. He can be seen playing a synthesizer in the promo video for "Lie for a Lie", but it is unknown if he actually played on the recording.
Pink Floyd songs co-written by Mason
"Pow R. Toc H." (1967) (The Piper at the Gates of Dawn) "Interstellar Overdrive" (1967) (The Piper at the Gates of Dawn) "A Saucerful of Secrets" (1968) (A Saucerful of Secrets) "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" (1968) (B-side of their single "Point Me at the Sky") "Up the Khyber" (1969) (Soundtrack from the Film More) "Party Sequence" (1969) (Soundtrack from the Film More) "Main Theme" (1969) (Soundtrack from the Film More) "Ibiza Bar" (1969) (Soundtrack from the Film More) "More Blues" (1969) (Soundtrack from the Film More) "Quicksilver" (1969) (Soundtrack from the Film More) "Dramatic Theme" (1969) (Soundtrack from the Film More) "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" (1969) (Ummagumma) "Atom Heart Mother" (1970) (Atom Heart Mother) "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" (1970) (Atom Heart Mother) "One of These Days" (1971) (Meddle) "Seamus" (Meddle) "Echoes" (1971) (Meddle) "When You're In" (1972) (Obscured by Clouds) "Speak to Me" (1973) (The Dark Side of the Moon) "Time" (1973) (The Dark Side of the Moon) "Any Colour You Like" (1973) (The Dark Side of the Moon)

- 1968: William Stephenson DMT lab is busted
Narcotics Factory Uncovered
HOUR 'TRIP' DMT is a hallucinogen which acts more quickly and powerfully than LSD Schnettler said. He said the drug induces a one-hour "trip" with reactions more dangerous than those of LSD, which can cause a trip of more than eight hours. Schnettler said his agents, those of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Michigan state police and three local police forces seized about three kilograms of DWI and one kilo of marijuana from the home.
3 kilos of DWI???
