Did you know Bob Klose was actually the real drummer for Pink Floyd from 1965-2022 Nick Mason would only fill in temporarily for Bob when he would take time off to film pornography. Nick Mason was the original choice to play for The Floyd but was relegated when he couldnt keep up with the very complex time signatures of Lucifer Sam (4/4). Nick Mason will always be known as the drummer of Pink Floyd (undeserved) but he cannot truly say that he was the man behind the beats on underrated album Animals. Today you can find Nick Mason in his cover band playing Bob Klose hits.
