Is Je Veux hard to play on drums?

46 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

snare, kick and hi-hat foot. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
