140 bars of 4/4 at 150 BPM, about 3:42 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-18, snare through bars 19-26, toms through bars 27-33, hi-hat through bars 34-50 and snare through bars 51-71, and 5 more changes after that.
