Is Tormilind hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

93 bars, about 2:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 16 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?
