211 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 4:27 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-15, snare through bars 16-31, toms through bars 32-33, hi-hat through bars 34-49, ride through bars 50-51 and snare through bars 52-53, and 25 more changes after that.
