Honestly? It isn’t. The drummer is talented but he needs to pay attention to the little details in the drumming. I know every inch of this drumming it’s one of my fav drumming sequences of all time I get GOOSEBUMPS when I hear it Everytime. He needs to stick to the script and stop going off on his own thing smhhh

Drum wise, the song is pretty straight forward. There's som tricky stuff at the start, but overall the song is in 6/4 for most of the track, and it's just remembering the dynamics. The length of the song can be a challenge though, especially trying to remember all the parts and changes. I'd say its a 6.5/10 difficulty.
