Questions

What BPM is Ensconced?

Is Ensconced hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.

What do I need on the kit?

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