Dolmayan's primary source of income has been his music career. Starting his journey at a very young age, he honed his skills through relentless practice and drew inspiration from various musical genres, including jazz and rock. He was highly influenced by Keith Moon of The Who, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Stewart Copeland of The Police, and Neil Peart of Rush.

Dolmayan's breakthrough came in 1997 when he joined System of a Down. He initially stepped in for their original drummer, Ontronik "Andy" Khachaturian. Over the years, Dolmayan contributed to the band's immense success by recording five albums with them, including their self-titled debut in 1998, the multi-Platinum-certified "Toxicity" in 2001, and other chart-topping albums like "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize." In 2006, Dolmayan was honored as Drummer of the Year by DRUM! Magazine and was even featured in their March edition. 

Following System of a Down's hiatus in 2006, Dolmayan and Daron Malakian, the band's guitarist/vocalist, collaborated to create a new group named Scars on Broadway. They released their debut album in the summer of 2008. In August 2009, Scars on Broadway, with Dolmayan, Perez, Shamoun, and Cifarelli, embarked on a USO tour in Iraq, featuring covers and original songs.
