Is The House Of The Arcane hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

74 bars, about 2:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 11 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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