154 bars at 158 BPM -- fast, and 3:54 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

hi-hat through bars 1-28, snare through bars 29-52, hi-hat through bars 53-60, silence through bars 61-62, hi-hat through bars 63-66 and ride through bars 67-68, and 10 more changes after that.
