130 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 169 BPM, 4:36 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-9, ride through bars 10-17, hi-hat through bars 18-33, ride through bars 34-37, hi-hat through bars 38-45 and ride through bars 46-50, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-20, 22-24 and 26-28, and 4 more places -- 28.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
