116 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 3:52 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-3, ride through bars 4-8, snare through bars 9-26, ride through bars 27-36, silence through bars 37-39 and toms through bars 40-41, and 7 more changes after that.
