American band The Smashing Pumpkins began to take auditions in order to hire a new drummer instead of Jimmy Chamberlin who has left them in the end of March. System Of A Down drummer John Dolmaian also took his chance to participate in this process, said The Smashing Pumpkins official web site. Twelve musicians have visited the first session which took place just a few days ago in Los Angeles. Due to the fact that the band’s leader Billy Corgan had received too many offers from a numerous number of musicians, The Smashing Pumpkins guys are thinking about organizing another audition in May that will allow them to get the final result. Besides System Of A Down Dolmaian is also well known for his presence in Axis of Justice, Scars on Broadway and Serj Tankian’s solo project. In 2006 John Dolmaian was declared to be a drummer of the year by a Drum! magazine. Jimmy Chamberlin had explained his decision by the loss of interest in what The Smashing Pumpkins is doing today. At the same time he keeps on denying traditional for the music world misunderstandings that could appear between him and his former bandmates. In the upcoming time he is planning to stay with his own group Jimmy Chamberlin Complex.
