91 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 2:37 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-14, ride through bars 15-16, hi-hat through bars 17-34, ride through bars 35-36 and hi-hat through bars 37-55, and 4 more changes after that.
