He was the drummer for Iron Maiden from 1978 to 1979.[1] BiographyPrior to joining the band, Sampson was a member of one of Steve Harris' previous groups, Smiler, along with Dennis Willcock, Mick Clee and Tony Clee in 1975,{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=25}} after which he was asked to join Iron Maiden at their inception in the same year.{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=26}} He declined to join at the time as he was "a bit fed up with the whole rock band thing" because he was "completely skint,"{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=26}} but accepted a further invitation from Steve Harris at Dennis Willcock's last gig to replace Barry Purkis in 1978 after he had taken up drumming again in a Southern Rock group called Janski.{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=49}} Following a year of rehearsing the band began playing small pubs with the band, during which they gained a large following, a highlight being a gig at London's famous Marque club. Doug participated in the recording of Iron Maiden's demo, later released as The Soundhouse Tapes, on 31 December 1978,{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=66}} Prowler and other tracks from it appeared in the charts of Neal Kay's Heavy Metal Soundhouse club, published weekly in Sounds.{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=69}} Iron Maiden eventually signed to EMI in 1979,{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=108}} following up by recording further demos, one song from these sessions ("Burning Ambition") was included on the B-Side of "Running Free".{{sfn|Wall|2004|p=126}} Doug also played on Iron Maidens BBC Archives released on 4 November 2002 as part of the Eddie's Archive box set.

Doug can be found on the BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show, 14 November 1979 disc. Sampson eventually left the band on 22 December 1979, following health issues brought about by the band's extensive touring schedule driving up and down the country in vans at night in a hectic schedule freezing half to death in the van and a lack of sleep contributing to fatigue and illness. Although he calls leaving Maiden "a blow," he states that "After leaving Iron Maiden he had a jam with Chop Pitman and Tony Hatton from EL34 and they formed a new band Airforce when joined by Sam 'Tomcat' Sampson Dougs brother who was the vocalist from local legends Sams Apple Pie. Airforce played heavily in the london circuit including nights including the Ruskin Arms and the Marque supporting Shy." In 2015,Doug was invited to be a guest at The Legacy Projects charity fund raising gig supported ex many members of Iron Maiden. Doug brought down his Smiler drum kit that he also used in Iron Maiden and was swamped for autographs and photos, Sampson's old band, Airforce performed a set and had also contributed a track ("War Games") to the [https://www.facebook.com/originsofiron/?fref=ts "Origins of Iron"] compilation, which featured nine tracks by former members of Iron Maiden. After seeing the response from fans, in 2016, Sampson rejoined Airforce after a 20-year absence. He recorded three new tracks with the band and released their career-retrospective album, Judgement Day on 15 July 2016 via, WatchOut Records. Doug finally returned to the stage, in April 2017. At just his second show back with Airforce, the band headlined the inaugural "Burr Fest" event, at The Lounge, in London.
