99 bars of 4/4 at 117 BPM, about 3:22 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-8, ride through bars 9-16, hi-hat through bars 17-24, ride through bars 25-33, hi-hat through bars 34-45 and ride through bars 46-63, and 4 more changes after that.
