232 bars at 215 BPM -- fast, and 4:16 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-14, kick and crashes through bars 15-17, hi-hat through bars 18-23, snare through bars 24-25, hi-hat through bars 26-31 and snare through bars 32-33, and 21 more changes after that.
