174 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 4:29 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

snare through bar 1, toms through bars 2-3, kick and crashes through bars 4-6, toms through bars 7-17, ride through bars 18-25 and hi-hat through bars 26-41, and 8 more changes after that.
