Yeah,
I think that Mason's role in Floyd was more foundational. Really, he never had a chance to explode, either on stage or in the studio, like Moon or Bonham. He was a solid drummer, and Floyd was, and will always be one of the greatest groups in rock history, but Mason, in my opinion, wasn't one of the greats. He was good, but not innovative.
