How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 4:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 21 sittings, about 23 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.
