Is Mind-Spun hard to play on drums?

58 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 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

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