162 bars at 171 BPM -- fast, and 3:47 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

ride through bars 1-16, hi-hat through bars 17-38, ride through bars 39-66, hi-hat through bars 67-89, ride through bars 90-91 and toms through bars 92-93, and 5 more changes after that.
