134 bars at 230 BPM -- fast, and 2:20 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-36, toms through bars 37-38, hi-hat through bars 39-94, kick and crashes through bars 95-96, hi-hat through bars 97-126 and toms through bars 127-128, and 1 more change after that.
