175 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:30 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-100, snare through bars 101-108, hi-hat through bars 109-127, silence through bars 128-140 and snare through bars 141-142, and 1 more change after that.
