Questions

Is Like Rats hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

73 bars, about 4:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 6 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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