124 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:00 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

kick and crashes through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-40, kick and crashes through bars 41-48, hi-hat through bars 49-56, kick and crashes through bars 57-64 and hi-hat through bars 65-72, and 5 more changes after that.
