Use brushes for this song, or just hit everything as lightly as possible...
You may want to use rim shots if the snare is too powerful without brushes.
At some points in the song you may need 3 hands! As the record has extra cymbals in for effect.
Leave these out if you want as they're not necessary, but I put them in anyway.

Such a simple song for the drums! Keep it slow and mellow...
