147 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:15 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

snare through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-15, snare through bars 16-22, hi-hat through bars 23-36, snare through bars 37-49 and hi-hat through bars 50-84, and 5 more changes after that.
