203 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 4:32 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-17, silence through bars 18-19, hi-hat through bars 20-38, snare through bars 39-48, silence through bars 49-51 and snare through bars 52-67, and 11 more changes after that.
