73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
