181 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 3:55 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-76, ride through bars 77-116, hi-hat through bars 117-148 and ride through bars 149-172, and 1 more change after that.
