188 bars at 220 BPM -- fast, and 3:24 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-48, ride through bars 49-56, hi-hat through bars 57-88, ride through bars 89-103, toms through bars 104-105 and hi-hat through bars 106-120, and 6 more changes after that.
