200 bars of 4/4 at a walking 105 BPM, 7:36 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-37, toms through bars 38-41, hi-hat through bars 42-82, ride through bars 83-88 and hi-hat through bars 89-100, and 9 more changes after that.
