208 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 5:30 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-24, hi-hat through bars 25-60, ride through bars 61-64, hi-hat through bars 65-114, kick and crashes through bars 115-116 and hi-hat through bars 117-193, and 2 more changes after that.
