310 bars at 220 BPM -- fast, and 5:32 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-3, ride through bars 4-6, toms through bars 7-9, hi-hat through bars 10-13, ride through bars 14-17 and hi-hat through bars 18-25, and 35 more changes after that.
