About "Toxicity" by System of a Down
One of the most iconic songs of the 21st century, "Toxicity" by System of a Down is a masterpiece of metal that will challenge and inspire any drummer. The song features the incredible drumming skills of John Dolmayan, who delivers a fast-paced and complex performance that blends elements of rock, punk, and Armenian folk music. This song is one of the few odd-time pieces to reach the top of the charts. Dolmayan plays an excellent example of a rocking 6/8 drum part. In the intro, Dolmayan creatively makes the 6/8 sound like 4/4, and then explodes into the traditional feel one would expect with 6/8 time. "Toxicity" was the title track and lead single of System of a Down's second album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and sold over 12 million copies worldwide. The song also received critical acclaim and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2002. "Toxicity" is a song that every drummer should aspire to play, as it showcases the power, creativity, and versatility of the instrument.
