Is M.Y hard to play on drums?

59 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

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