Is raisonne hard to play on drums?

45 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

4 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 48, 104, 111, 112 and 120.
