160 bars at 242 BPM -- fast, and 2:39 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-8, toms through bars 9-24, snare through bars 25-38, hi-hat through bars 39-44 and toms through bars 45-60, and 8 more changes after that.
