189 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:37 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

kick and crashes through bars 3-6, hi-hat through bars 7-36, toms through bars 37-38, hi-hat through bars 39-48, snare through bars 49-50 and hi-hat through bars 51-68, and 4 more changes after that.
