101 bars of 4/4 at a walking 90 BPM, 4:29 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-20, ride through bars 21-36, hi-hat through bars 37-52, snare through bars 53-68 and ride through bars 69-84, and 1 more change after that.
