207 bars at 230 BPM -- fast, and 4:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

kick and crashes through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-23, snare through bars 24-27, hi-hat through bars 28-31, snare through bars 32-33 and hi-hat through bars 34-41, and 14 more changes after that.
