99 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 2:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-5, toms through bars 6-9, hi-hat through bars 10-17, ride through bars 18-25, hi-hat through bars 26-33 and ride through bars 34-57, and 5 more changes after that.
