188 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 4:10 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-5, snare through bars 6-8, ride through bars 9-12, snare through bars 13-14 and kick and crashes through bars 15-19, and 16 more changes after that.
