Is Eternal Spirits hard to play on drums?

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 18 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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.

How many fills are in Eternal Spirits?

11 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 26, 35, 39, 43, 48, 49 and 8 more.
