102 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 2:36 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-18, hi-hat through bars 19-20, ride through bars 21-22, snare through bars 23-26 and hi-hat through bars 27-30, and 14 more changes after that.
