156 bars at 158 BPM -- fast, and 3:57 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-49, kick and crashes through bars 50-51, hi-hat through bars 52-53, kick and crashes through bars 54-55 and hi-hat through bars 56-101, and 6 more changes after that.
