70 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 2:48 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

kick and crashes through bars 1-7, toms through bars 8-12, hi-hat through bars 13-25, snare through bars 26-36, kick and crashes through bars 37-43 and snare through bars 44-57, and 2 more changes after that.
