130 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 4:20 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-45, snare through bars 46-50, silence through bars 51-60, snare through bars 61-70 and hi-hat through bars 71-75, and 7 more changes after that.
