What BPM is Enemy?

154 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 Enemy hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it. The beat itself is 4 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, 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.
