137 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:13 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

toms through bars 1-8, silence through bars 9-11, snare through bars 12-23, hi-hat through bars 24-30, snare through bars 31-42 and hi-hat through bars 43-59, and 7 more changes after that.
