Is in the stars hard to play on drums?

8 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

44 bars, about 2:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 2 sittings, about 31 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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