    Not sure where to buy them, but I agree that his kit is very nice. John is easily my favorite drummer of all-time.

    He is my all time drum hero. Have you seen his Scars on Broadway kit? AMAZING! All hand inlayed by artisans. Its a Bubinga kit, I think its his first one (buginga that is).

    Yes. John is a collector and long time fan of comic books, so he decided to have his drumset covered in art from comic books.

    I didn't know there were other big Dolmayan fans here! We should have a System discussion, lol.

    John is one angry Armenian badd - butt, woodchippin', putting the HURT on the Tamas drumslinger! Really admire his playing and that kit is pretty keen!

    I've grown to like JD's playing way more than I used to, it's really powerful and unique.
    Is that the normal configuration he uses cuz those big toms look like they're mounted pretty high.

    You're right, they do look pretty high. I doubt that's his normal configuration, based on this picture:



    His toms look lower and more tilted here.

    That is a cool looking kit. I'm sure if you call Tama and tell them you got about 10K in your pocket, they could make you one!

    Ya, I love his new set, but I always loved his original one myself. In fact I've been saving up a while because I plan on making a Toxicity era John Dolmayan replica set.
    John's been my favorite ever since I first heard of SOAD, which was a loooooong time ago lol.
    He kinda gives you a little tour around a minute into this vid.
