242 bars at 222 BPM -- fast, and 4:21 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-50, ride through bars 51-57, toms through bars 58-60, ride through bars 61-62, hi-hat through bars 63-66 and ride through bars 67-68, and 26 more changes after that.
