John Dolmayan Instagram - From our family to yours , wishing you a happy and peaceful Christmas 🥁🎁🎄✝️

John Dolmayan Instagram - It is with great respect and love that after 28 years I’ve decided to make a change in my life. It’s been an incredible journey , and a decision months in the analyzing that I don’t take lightly . So many great memories and joyous occasions, so many accomplishments. That is what makes this so difficult a decision and yet after making it a sense of peace and happiness engulfed my being. Going forward new adventures await , that’s why I’ve decided to switch tooth paste to Colgate white. Bye bye Crest , this is a new chapter in my life’s book. It’s not that I don’t still have feelings for your minty freshness but change is good and change is now. Thank you for those who have supported me in my relationship with crest . New adventures await us all.

John Dolmayan Instagram - There’s a chance I’ll be in São Paulo , Brazil in mid December( not 💯sure yet ). Anyone know of a cool drum shop ,music store , or comic book shop that would be interested in a few hour signing ? It would be fun to meet some of our awesome Brazilian fans . DM me if you know of one .

John Dolmayan Instagram - This is a picture of my wife just before she held our newborn son for the first time . Everything you would ever need to know about her is summed up in this picture.
She is an incredibly compassionate person most notably in her efforts protecting and helping animals . She is a graceful person in her movements and motives .
She is of strong character and fortitude not living for perception but rather for deep rooted convictions . She has made me laugh and sometimes driven me near insanity for over ten years and today is her birthday . Join me in raising a glass in toast and celebration . Those who know you best bask in your friendship and love . Happy birthday my dear .

John Dolmayan Instagram - Had a little help with radio/video last night @gregwatermann

John Dolmayan Instagram - And I’ll do it again.

John Dolmayan Instagram - Playing in front of a sold out crowd of our adoring fans was incredible but when team Dolmayan helped out with some tambourine playing before radio video and I got a good luck kiss from my oldest it took the night to a new level! They may have a permanent gig going forward! Thanks @gregwatermann for the amazing shot !

John Dolmayan Instagram - I could have been a Bond villain !

John Dolmayan Instagram - I was only in SOAD for a few months and we were playing one of my first shows with the band at the @thewhiskyagogo in Hollywood . @shavoodadjian came up to me excitedly and said @davelombardo was in the audience ! We were in disbelief! How did he know about us ? We were just a local band playing a local show , what would attract one of the best drummers of all time and the man responsible for one of my favorite albums , South of Heaven ! To make everything more surreal he complimented us after the show and said he was a fan of the band and that he would love to jam with us sometime. The jam actually happened but partially out of respect and mostly out of nervousness I didn’t go and just let the rest of the band experience jamming with Dave. Since those days we became friends , Dave is by far one of the nicest and fan appreciative people I know. Never an unkind word , always a fan of music with no pretentiousness. He drove two hours to see an unsigned band play a show because we incorporated eastern rhythmic themes in our style and that was something that interested him . Dave is one of the best to have picked up the sticks but he never forgot his love for drums and is always looking for inspiration irrespective of where it comes from. He is a gift and still inspires all of us ,his fans.

John Dolmayan Instagram - Thanks to all our fans worldwide !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Till the next one ! @korn_official @gregwatermann

John Dolmayan Instagram - One day all of the influences that shaped our world will be gone . It’s regrettable but this is the law of nature , so live each day for itself . Music is and always will be of great importance and inspiration, seeing one of the Beatles live was a dream come true.

John Dolmayan Instagram - Happy New Years to everyone !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Nothing better .

John Dolmayan Instagram - In memory of the 1.5 million innocent men women and children murdered by the ottoman Turks . Some of the biggest pieces of shit in recorded history were instrumental in ushering in a new era of genocide and holocaust and are still attempting the extermination of the Armenian people today . There will never be an end to the injustice until Turkey admits and atones for their policy of Christian extermination. Kurds , Armenians , Greeks , and Assyrians. Brothers United against the hate against us . Today I remember my great grandfather who was shot in front of his family and all of my family who was murdered during and after the genocide . May you rest in peace and your murderer’s burn in hell with all their generations.

John Dolmayan Instagram - I remember right around the time system was getting signed to a record deal we were afforded the opportunity to see @rageagainstthemachine live . We got our first back stage passes and laminates and were allowed to watch from the side of the stage and even met the band . What an amazing experience! @bradwilk is an excellent drummer and has been an integral part of every band he’s played with including the album he did with Black Sabbath. On top of that he’s a genuine and sweet human being and loves classic muscle cars( pretty cool ) . I’d like to thank him for his positive influence and for always being such a welcoming and nice guy ! Rage kicks ass and Brads a big part of why they do !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Happy anniversary to us ! Seven years have gone by in a blink of an eye and still the adventure gets better every day. She’ll be waking up with a hangover this morning ( Sake) but will be as beautiful as ever .

John Dolmayan Instagram - Even before I joined the band we would sit around and marvel at the uniquely intricate drumming of Danny Carey . Tool to me is like a mix of Pink Floyd and Rush, modernizing those sounds and adding an even more prolific singer . I spent many nights in the crowd during Ozzfest laying on the grass and enjoying the power and beauty amplified by the massive speakers . (Their Led Zeppelin cover is amazing !)At some point someone had the bright idea of challenging them to a basketball game ( we lost ). This was the second time system lost ( first time was to slayer , they killed us ) but we began a friendship between the bands that is still thriving today. Danny is on the Mount Rushmore of modern drummers , he balances technic and style perfectly . For someone as tall as he is he’s incredibly graceful and there is a marvelous liquidity to his drumming style . Danny is a shy , introspective person but once you get him comfortable his inner joy and zest for life overtakes you. I have been fortunate to have played with them on stage going back and forth on timbales as he played a solo. Every time we did this was such a thrill and again I count my blessings that these opportunities have been afforded to me. I can’t explain how much respect and admiration I have for Danny and Tool in general . I pray we do a tour together one day and create a massive 2 or 3 drummer solo . I promise to give you a run for your money Danny 🤙

John Dolmayan Instagram - Better ? My prayers for the people of Iran . I hope the governmental powers come to the realization that they are there to serve the people . A beautiful heritage with a long history facing dark times right now.

John Dolmayan Instagram - Great seeing and hanging with the incomparable @davelombardo ! As always,one of the sweetest people on the planet. 🥁 🥁

John Dolmayan Instagram - Circa 2001 , I can still launch them into outer space !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Over the years and hundreds of interviews journalists would ask a question that hit a recurring theme , who inspired you to play drums and who is your biggest inspiration. One of the three pillars of my drumming style and inspiration is Neil Peart from @rush . Not only was he a brilliant drummer and one of the most creative of all time , he was an incredible lyric writer and poet . Sadly he passed away and his gifts passed with him. There is only one drummer alive I would pick to carry on his legacy and that man is @mikeportnoy . As prolific a drummer as we’ve seen in the modern era Mike navigates around a drum set the way an eagle rides the thermals . His style , as intricate as it is , looks casual and flows without trying to. The best way i would describe him is to combine the highest achievable level of technique with the most intuitive feel. Truly a master .
On top of that Mike is humble and without pretext . If Rush comes back and honors Neil’s legacy Mike needs to be behind the kit!

John Dolmayan Instagram - The latest episode of Battleline Podcast is an explosive one 💥 @johndolmayan_ talks what the future holds for @systemofadown - why no album has been released since 2005 from the band, and why they only have one show scheduled for 2023. That and a whole lot more. Be sure to check it out, up now on all podcast platforms. #systemofadown #toxicity #sicknewworld #soad @torpedocomics

John Dolmayan Instagram - Some battles you just can’t win. Lily 3, John 0

John Dolmayan Instagram - I’ve been getting requests for some sticks from @sicknewworld .Regrettably I always throw the ones I play out into the audience after the show , but I do have 20 or so pair from rehearsals. Soooo , I’m going to give some out ( let’s say 10 individual sticks ) to those who wish to gift them to someone special who may enjoy having one . Any suggestions ? DM me . Also would be cool to see who went home with one of the ones I played that night , send a pic of you with the stick 🤙

John Dolmayan Instagram - We met for the first time during Ozzfest 99 ( my personal favorite of the 4 times we were on Ozzfest) . Zombie was co headlining and system was opening the main stage (1pm) , usually playing to 1500 people and a mostly empty first 70 rows. We had met so many inspiring musicians in 98/99 and @johntempesta was one of them. Almost immediately we became lifelong friends and John would allow me to watch from behind his kit as he played his set nearly every night. Not only is he a phenomenal drummer and incredibly versatile (playing almost any style he wants )but John is a humble and open person. I’ve never seen him even slightly upset , he always has a smile on his face and an excitement to play and his attitude is infectious. Like any family member, anytime we see each other we pick up exactly where we left off. I remember vividly that both of our kits were set up next to each other backstage at Ozzfest 2002 . We happened to be together and were checking our kits to make sure everything was in order when we spontaneously went into a double drummer drum solo . We went back and forth , trying to escalate the technique and feel of our solos using each others talent as inspiration to out do each other on the next phrasing . Before we knew it there were a hundred or so techs , guests , and security watching the impromptu show behind the show happening 100feet away. I wish my friend Mike ( he taped it ) wasn’t such a damn stoner and lost the tape! Drummers like John make me want to be a better drummer and are the fuel for learning and improving. I’ve learned much from him over the years both in being a better drummer and a better human being . Recently Dave , John , and I went to dinner and it was such a fun time . Reminiscing and laughing , friends enjoying life. I can’t believe I get to hang out with the drummers who inspired me in my formative years and who continue to do so today ! I hope there are kids out there who are equally inspired by what I do , one day the baton will pass from us to you and so on and so on .

John Dolmayan Instagram - Merry Christmas 🎄
Love Emma, Maya, Liam 👧👧🧒
Charlie, Lola and Lily 🐶🐶🐶

John Dolmayan Instagram - Always a joy to come to Cabo and stay at the @oneandonlypalmilla but this welcome gift was over the top! They even made a chocolate @ascenciacomicbook . Always the nicest people with great vibes and even better food !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Went to Brasil last month to see @knotfestbrasil ( it was fantastic) and spent some quality time with my friends from @egokilltalent . It’s always good to see dear friends that live a world away !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Part of being a good husband is leaving your wife alone so she can enjoy her birthday morning in peace ! You’re a wonderful woman Diana . You have rare qualities that set you apart ,strength , virtue , and an incredible sense of humor all encompassed in a beauty that radiates from both the inside and outside. Happy birthday and happy every day !
John , Emma , Maya , Charlie , Lily , and Lola …….( I’m sure we will add to this list soon )

John Dolmayan Instagram - Always a pleasure to be on stage ! I’m so proud to be associated with the worlds biggest underground band( Rick Rubin coined that ) and the music we created together. There’s nothing that compares to the feeling you get up there feeding off of the crowds energy and locking in with your band mates. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it and though we never know when our last time up there will be the important thing is to cherish each moment gifted to us. We owe much to our fans worldwide , we don’t always deserve you , but we love you !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Back around 2005 , compliments of @gregwatermann @systemofadown

John Dolmayan Instagram - Two of the best drummers and nicest people! @davelombardo @johntempesta . Both have been inspiring me with their drumming and character for decades !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Happy birthday to my brother @shavoodadjian ! 100 more years bro !

John Dolmayan Instagram - If there’s a way to explain @vbecunninghvm drumming style I would have to say it’s similar to an earthquake. Deep , booming , and inescapable! He’s been a friend and inspiration since the first time I saw him play . Always humble , never seen without a massive smile , and when he sits behind the kit he unleashes hell ! Absolutely the closest to Bonham in our generation Abe mixes rhythm and power better than almost anyone. A fantastic father to his kids and a wonderful friend . So happy to have seen you play as many times as I have and seen the secret tattoos in person ! One of the most recognizable sounds from the first hit !

John Dolmayan Instagram - I had a wonderful pre birthday breakfast yesterday and took a moment to capture this picture of my parents with all of their grandchildren. What a special picture ! My parents sacrificed so much to bring us to the United States and what a joy it’s been living here. I made so many lifelong friends , had the opportunity to play music in a truly gifted band , and was able to start a family of my own. 52 years seems like a long time , its gone by fast . I can only hope the time I have left is as fulfilling as the time I’ve already experienced. Thank you to my friends , my family , and all of you for the birthday well wishes. It’s always nice to hear from you.

John Dolmayan Instagram - Thank you for all the requests! For those who sent messages please send the song you’re most interested in having me play on to johnplayonmysong@gmail.com

I will narrow it down to 25 songs and then let you guys pick 6 songs that I will add my drumming to.

What I will charge for this is zero ( some people asked). You’ve all done enough for us over the years.

I’m hoping this will be a fun experience for all of us and that through this we will discover some great music !

*FYI it doesn’t have to be Rock related, I can play and would enjoy just about any style

John Dolmayan Instagram - Enjoying Rio and looking forward to @paulmccartney tonight !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Had a blast last night , thanks for all the energy !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Well that was fun , let’s do it again!

John Dolmayan Instagram - The ants go marching one by one ! @sicknewworld

John Dolmayan Instagram - Almost without fail at the end of our shows I throw that nights played sticks into the audience . Sticks usually last about two songs before the balance is affected by the loss of wood caused by hitting the rim of the snare or cymbals so there’s generally 8 to 10 pair to throw out to the audience ( if you’ve seen us live I do this at the end of the show ). It’s also one of the only times I’m afforded the opportunity to interact with the fans as I’m usually behind the kit . On rare occasions I will instruct Sako to save a set and take them home , here is one such pair . These hold special memories for me , for those of you who have them I hope they do the same for you . ♥️

John Dolmayan Instagram - Father’s Day is this Sunday . What I didn’t know is that F$&# with Father’s Day happens to be the Thursday before.

John Dolmayan Instagram - In 1998 system went on our first ever tour , 2 months in the states and ending in a 2 month run in Europe with the incomparable Slayer . Broken down RVs , showering after Serj ( clogged drain every time) , sleeping next to Shavo in the top of the RVs crawl space . Eating for free whenever possible as we were all broke . It was the best ! I first met @paulbostaphofficial at the NAMM show . This was just before our tour and we were talking to all the drum companies about endorsements ( I received none ). Walking down an aisle was Paul , by himself and with a backpack on his shoulder . We were introduced and he gave me some advice spending a good 30 min with me . This is an example of who Paul is , he didn’t know me from a hole in the ground but he took time to take me under his wing .Months later we were on tour ,I busted through my kick drum . Sako had both hands on top of his head and was just looking at my kick pedal which had gone through my kick drum head. All of a sudden Paul appeared on stage with a drum key on a drill bit and was helping us takeoff the drum head. He was the headliner, and he was on stage helping the opener change his drum head .I’ll never forget the many acts of kindness that Paul and the wonderful crew and band of slayer showed us. We were in Europe we didn’t have $.10 to our name we were staying in the shittiest hotels if we were lucky enough to get one (usually we just stayed in our bus in the middle of a field somewhere we were showering at the venue )At nights we were playing 20 or 30 minute sets and I’d be sweating ,boiling because we couldn’t afford a fan and then one day Paul had gone and purchased a fan for me because he knew I lacked the funds to get it . Slayer gave us advice, but more than anything they spent time with us watched us play every night. Paul made sure that if I ever needed anything I had it he is a ripping drummer but more important is his character. Paul has had an incredible career playing for some of the best bands on the planet . Hi is an enormously talented drummer , with amazing feel and technique.. I want to take this opportunity to thank him for his many acts of kindness !

John Dolmayan Instagram - Well , looks like it’s time to get glasses! Thanks for all the well wishes and love everyone. Cheers from me to you.

John Dolmayan Instagram - Cool to see fan reactions in a different country , next year Germany !

John Dolmayan Instagram - It’s time to do something

Take no action to harm anyone , only a deranged person would commit this act and they are in every party and every ideology. Vote your conscience in November but whoever wins we must all make an effort to bring back dignity and common sense thinking. Listening to those who think differently and having debate that is civil and respectful. Any politician that advocates for violence should be held responsible when violence occurs . There are many unhinged lunatics out there , that must not lead to the chaos they so badly want.

John Dolmayan - 20.1K Likes - Remember when you send your sons to defend the homeland , many will not return .Be not fooled into thinking that those who attack you do so because of your nationality , or because you worship God differently . They attack for profit and only for profit , money is their religion and the only flag they pay allegiance too is this one 💰. Ukraines government supported Azerbaijan in their attempt to erase Armenia and Artsakh and now a larger more powerful foe is attempting the same but in the end I will not in good conscience see people suffer anywhere in the world and not be moved to help if I can. Be they my enemy or friend they are people , and if traveling the world taught me anything it’s that there is little difference between even the most alien cultures. We want to live our lives and give our children the best we can. I wish peace in Ukraine , Russia, Armenia , Turkey , Azerbaijan, and everywhere else.
