89 bars, 5:56, at 60 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-24, ride through bars 25-32, hi-hat through bars 33-64, ride through bars 65-72 and hi-hat through bars 73-89.
