95 bars of 4/4 at 110 BPM, about 3:27 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-6, snare through bars 7-10, hi-hat through bars 11-16, snare through bars 17-18, silence through bars 19-20 and toms through bars 21-22, and 12 more changes after that.
