Hey, I'm Corey! 22 years old from KC Missouri. This is my drum cover of John Mayer's "Assassin off of his Battle Studies album released in 2009. For GEAR INFO keep reading.

SNARE TRACK: I recorded this cover in one take, however I duplicated the snare track in pro tools, that way I could edit the EQ when I put the BigFatSnareDrum on it in the middle of the song. Really proud with how the snare turned out! Close to Steve Jordan's snare on the original track.
