84 bars of 4/4 at 113 BPM, about 2:57 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-10, hi-hat through bars 11-14, snare through bars 15-18, hi-hat through bars 19-22 and snare through bars 23-34, and 9 more changes after that.
