125 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 4:59 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

hi-hat through bars 1-65, snare through bars 66-68, hi-hat through bars 69-100, kick and crashes through bars 101-108, hi-hat through bars 109-111 and snare through bars 112-114, and 1 more change after that.
