272 bars at 230 BPM -- fast, and 4:44 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-24, kick and crashes through bars 25-27, ride through bars 28-34, hi-hat through bars 35-42, ride through bars 43-45 and hi-hat through bars 46-58, and 21 more changes after that.
