205 bars at 228 BPM -- fast, and 3:38 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

snare through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-9, toms through bars 10-14, hi-hat through bars 15-48, toms through bars 49-50 and hi-hat through bars 51-54, and 12 more changes after that.
