Questions

Is Et hard to play on drums?

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

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

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 4 and 8.
