This is much closer to a percussionist than a drummer. I know there is no real line between the two. The major difference is hi-hat line, a third element that happens on beat/backbeat and a lot of the hits happen at the same time with either snare or kick.. I can go all day with this kind of "complex" 2 element rhythms, it's not that hard. But try tapping those eights in the mix, on beat, don't miss any hits that are on the same beat..
Just try it, now. Tap eights with any finger and tap 'kick' on 1st beat, 'snare' on 2nd beat... (those who have done drumlessons, remember this rhythm from the first week.. one the basics) Then forget those eights and start banging complex rhythms, fills, drumrolls within microseconds. Much much easier, ain't it?
That is what is happening here, percussions on fingers are very natural and easy: most percussions only use hands. Basic drums have an extra "layer" of information and mimicking the action done with two hands and two feets with ten fingers is really a challenge. Have seen few that can actually use the whole virtual drumkit but mostly you see people posting fills and pseudohard percussion lines (sound complex and hard, are actually stupidly easy..).
