Is Sweet hard to play on drums?

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

114 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 3 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
