120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Come As You Are by Nirvana hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

10 bars, about 0:20 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 2 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
