147 bars at 204 BPM -- fast, and 2:53 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-17, snare through bars 18-25, hi-hat through bars 26-67, toms through bars 68-75 and hi-hat through bars 76-127, and 3 more changes after that.
