109 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 2:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

ride through bar 1, silence through bars 2-3, hi-hat through bars 4-45, ride through bars 46-51, toms through bars 52-53 and hi-hat through bars 54-61, and 5 more changes after that.
