98 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 1:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

ride through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-16, ride through bars 17-24, hi-hat through bars 25-32, ride through bars 33-40 and toms through bars 41-48, and 5 more changes after that.
