"I was very disappointed when I heard that Foote's was going to close because it is one of my great memories of being a young, budding drummer and going to the original shop in Denman Street and buying my very first kit for £7.50."

According to Nick, there's a drum culture that is centered on drum shops. He says drum shops are significant because these are the places where information gets passed around:

"You hear about new things, if you need a drum lesson, the best place to go is probably a drum shop and ask them for advice."

Foote's originally opened in Soho in 1920. It will now re-open in a new location at 41 Store Street, Bloomsbury, London.

However, Nick won't have a significant involvement in the day-to-day running of the shop. Says the Pink Floyd star: "I think I will try not to be too hands on. I doubt I'll be much help really... I don't think I'm going to be behind the counter on a regular basis."
