The "This" Dolmayan is speaking of is his place in life today as an immensely successful modern rock drummer for the multi-platinum Los Angeles-based group System Of A Down.
John: I think the major difference between this session and the Toxicity session is that we did this one at Rick's house instead of a traditional studio, which made a big difference in how the drums sound, which drums were used, and especially what snares were used.
John: I use Paiste cymbals, mostly from their Signature line, but with a couple of Dimensions in there as well.

 hip online: artists: system of a down
Elsewhere examiner noted the foursome to be a disparate mix of individuals, united by the Hegelian montage theory reasoning the sum of four great parts to be infinitely grander than any part in and of itself.
Subject himself was born into war-torn Lebanon to a sax-blowing father who chose family over music, discouraging young John from pursuing the rhythmic arts as a vocation lest he suffer invariable hardships, "He knows what a musician's life is like," Dolmayan says of his paternal unit.
Clearly Dolmayan's jazz-deluged upbringing could and should be cited when attempting to explain his unorthodox drumming flare.

Shavo, John, and Jeanne Fury shot the shit about everything from Toxicity, to coked-up groupies, to the importance of playing your own songs in a sea of copycat bands.
That was a nice way of saying it [Motioning to John.], but there are a lot of stupid girls that are ho's.

 SYSTEM OF A DOWN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The band has no overriding concept, meaning each of their albums is—just as Dolmayan says—essentially a representation of these particular individuals at a particular moment in time.
Odadjian, for example, handles System’s stage production and is involved with the band’s videos as a director (Toxicity’sChop Suey” and “Aerials”) and editor (“B.Y.O.B.”) “We have our arguments,” Dolmayan acknowledges, “but in the end, if someone has a compelling argument, everyone else will listen, even if that person’s in the minority.
So it’s a true democracy in that everyone’s voice is heard.” Dolmayan pauses for the punch line.

There is no getting around it: System of a Down nearly made the no-contest hard-rock album of 2005.
Still, there is much to be said for the way Malakian, singer Serj Tankian, bassist Shavo Odadjian and drummer John Dolmayan reopen for business here with "Attack." Hell immediately runneth over in Malakian's scoured-staccato guitars and Dolmayan's furious hammering.
The dude, of course, is John Mayer, the same guy who broke through a few years back with a daydreaming adult-pop ditty called "Your Body Is a Wonderland." Recorded over several shows this winter, Try!
