257 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 4:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-32, kick and crashes through bars 33-38, toms through bars 39-63, hi-hat through bars 64-72, ride through bars 73-80 and toms through bars 81-84, and 12 more changes after that.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
