189 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 4:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-9, ride through bars 10-17, hi-hat through bars 18-25, kick and crashes through bars 26-27, hi-hat through bars 28-35 and ride through bars 36-51, and 9 more changes after that.
