225 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 3:45 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

snare through bars 1-20, hi-hat through bars 21-34, snare through bars 35-53, toms through bars 54-58, hi-hat through bars 59-90 and kick and crashes through bars 91-93, and 11 more changes after that.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
