John Dolmayan is the drummer for the band System of a Down. As a drummer, he is noted for his high-hat to snare combo. He has recorded 4 albums with the group, with HYPNOTIZE, the band's other half of their double album, MEZMERIZE/HYPNOTIZE, to follow late September, 2005. In my own opinion, when I listen to his drumming, I feel like I'm hearing 2 drummers instead of only one. As other critics have said, he has a "schizophrenic" style of drumming. Serj Tankian, lead singer for System of a Down, has been noted for saying that he is always trying to make John crack a smile on stage. He tries to keep a straight face and not get put off beat. By keeping a straight face and wearing a black suit, he is said to resemble a member of the Russian Mafia. All in all, all drummers should aspire to one day have the skill of this man.
"So John, describe you happiness with the group's success with your new album in 1 word, what would you say?"
"..............pwns."
"..............pwns."

The drummer of System of a Down, who joined in 1997, after Andy Kachturian left fude to an injury. He has a way of playing the high-hat extremely fast, and uses the kick quite well. However, even though he seems like a good man, he never smiles. But, he still is a happy person. Although, he seems like he’s a pervert , his favorite movie is Taboo 2, a film about sexual assault
Person 1: Dude, who’s your favorite drummer?
Person 2: Lars.
Person 1: What the fuck did you just say? We all know John Dolmayan is the true king.
