Nah, it's not hard. Nothing Nirvana did was hard. Don't get me wrong, Dave Grohl is a BRILLIANT drummer, but Nirvana was just so straight forward and because he is so good, he played what suited the songs. It's just a simple synocapted 4/4 using the crash, kick and snare. that's it. i don't even think he uses any toms for the fills, it's all straight single stroke rolls on the snare. Smells Like Teen Spirit is probably one of the most basic songs.
However IF your a beginner, then the syncopated beat may seem a little hard at first, but it doesn't take long to figure out the rhythm.
