242 bars at 269 BPM -- fast, and 3:39 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-5, ride through bars 6-22, silence through bars 23-29, hi-hat through bars 30-35, ride through bars 36-37 and hi-hat through bars 38-43, and 21 more changes after that.
