Is Plowed hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 47 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.
