87 bars at 235 BPM -- fast, and 1:29 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-5, snare through bars 6-16, hi-hat through bars 17-29, ride through bars 30-40 and hi-hat through bars 41-53, and 3 more changes after that.
