Is Doin' Time hard to play on drums?

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
