Iron Man (Black Sabbath) • Drum Cover
If you’re a fan of drumming, you’re in for a treat! My videos showcase me playing some of your favorite songs, and I demonstrate how sound engineering, stage lighting, photography, and cinematography can be applied to a drum cover. I am a British self taught drummer and i've been playing for most of my life, but I am always still learning!
For the gear nerds, I use either a PDP Concept Maple Special Edition or a DW Performance Series Bop Kit, Ludwig Black Beauty snare, and a range of cymbals including Zildjian K Custom Dark, Zildjian K Constantinople, Zildjian K Kerope, Zildjian A Custom, and Meinl Byzance. I use Evans UV1 heads and Vic Firth 7A drumsticks.
For mics, I use the AKG D112 for the kick, Shure SM57 for the snare top and bottom, Sennheiser E604 for the toms, Rode NT5 matched pair for the overheads, Studio Projects C3 x 2 for the stereo room, and Rode M5 for the hi-hat.
I use the Soundcraft UI24R interface and Logic Pro X DAW with iZotope Plugins. I mix through a pair of Adam A7X monitors with Adam Sub 10, in an acoustically treated room.
For cameras, I use the Canon 70D, GoPro Hero9 x 3, and GoPro Hero10. I edit my videos using Final Cut Pro X.
To create the perfect lighting, I use Lightkey DMX control software, ADJ Mega Hex Par x 6, ADJ Mini Dekker, Prolight Spectrapix Batten x 2, Galaxy 72W LED Wall Wash x 1, and DMX controlled LED strips.

Awesome job David! 👏♥🥁
Thanks, enjoyed yours too! I didn't manage the double pedal.
Spot on! 😊Love the tasteful use of strobes! 🕺
Thanks! 😃
🤘🤘 Great job brother! Love the accent lights too, do you pre-program those or do they follow to audio?
Hi, glad you enjoyed it. I programme a custom light show for each cover I do. I create a few different looks/scenes/FX and then trigger them via midi from my DAW.
Very tight, my friend! I was head-banging along with this one. Loved the lights and angles. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it

Super work David, sounds ace.
Great performance, sounds awesome! And heel down at that tempo... I had to look twice! 💪
Nicely Done I Got to see them perform this live back in the 80's on the Vacation Tour
Great work!!! Am I right that you tuned the heads to the song's tuning?
Thanks for the comment. Not intentionally. Sometimes I deliberately tune to a song, but the kit was sounding ok as it was for this one.
Brilliant stuff...😊
Thanks! Look forward to yours.
