They're both decent drummers, but not as good as their successors.

And it's Mick Pointer, not Nick,

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Both are great, but Mayhew gets my vote.

Well, I do like some of the drums on Script (in some cases, even better than on later live versions), even though I don't remember anything memorable drum-wise on Trespass.

Mick Pointer.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
