[AugustDwight]

I don't think I've ever seen a man who had less need of a Red Bull

[greggdrums]

Wow! Thank you for all the amazing comments everybody! What a BLAST!

[vicchopin]

INCREDIBLE energy from a 65 year old man. Amazing!

[DonnaJSneed]

This dude's energy made me realize that life can have much more joy in whatever you do as long as you love it.

[dominitrov]

I love how he has the drums in front of him and he still makes the sounds with his mouth

[DiegoreSCL]

the way he said DOLMAYAAAAN is the same way an older cousin/uncle would greet a family member they haven't seen in a while

[xtremErisa]

"I want to do it like this - it's better. . . . Way better than what I did." You gotta love and be in awe of this humility. Wow.

[corinnacohn]

This guy definitely runs an incredible D&D campaign.

[daddyyu-gi-oh]

This guy talks like my 5 year old son before he’s meant to go to bed 😂 love it

[MrDizzizz]

Love how he hears the band name and is basically just like "oh yeah I run into the drummer at Whole Foods sometimes" like he doesn't listen to the band, he's just excited about his neighbor

[LOGEZZZZZBRO]

Good lord, please have this man on weekly. Absolutely incredible personality, enthusiasm, and drummer.

[GesterX]

The space he leaves in the chorus gives the song such a more dramatic, heavy feel.

"you scared me, I thought I was gonna get Meshuggah"
*casually drops a flawless bleed kick groove*
I am afraid this man doesn't even realize the level he is in.

EDIT: BRO. My point is he is so humble he doesnt even know how GOOD he is, I said he played something extremely difficult casually. Are you incapable of text interpretation? Jesus.

[AngelPratt-bn]

There’s no one more fun to hang out with than a man that doesn’t recognize SOAD’s most popular song but actually knows the name of the drummer.

[javigd]

Dolmayan's part is so integral to the original song that it looks like a different song if you change it. So creative.

[Jarooosa]

You can clearly see why this guy has worked with so many artists, clearly talented, but one of those personalities that lifts everyone around them. Perfect for a temp drummer.

[djjw-]

didn't realise how much the drums affected the song until i heard his version lol

[lisa-m-jennings]

I feel completely honored just to have seen this guy work in the video. What an artist! Such a humble gentleman.

[chrisholtz]

Wow..this right here just proves why so many artists wanted him on drums..his attitude and personality is infectious

[kaorijoy]

I love that as soon as they said SOAD he says "dolmayan!" He's a student always❤
