The requirement of a small population with genetic drift is not necessary for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A large population size is actually better for maintaining the equilibrium. The other conditions listed (no net mutations, no net migration of alleles, no selection, sexually reproducing and random mating population) are all necessary for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to hold true.
