With the guitar sound incorporated into the track, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to try playing it with a band.
As for the drums, it repeats a single beat pattern, so it’s recommended for beginner drummers.
Since the BPM is 174, it might feel a bit fast for beginners, but in this song’s beat the hi-hat plays quarter notes, so you should be able to play it without feeling too strained.
However, the beat where the bass drum plays eighth notes in between the quarter-note hi-hats can make your hands and feet get tangled until you get used to it.
Be sure to start practicing at a slow tempo and gradually increase the speed.
