173 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 280 BPM, 2:42 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-60, silence through bars 61-69, hi-hat through bars 70-93, ride through bars 94-95 and hi-hat through bars 96-149, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-16, 18-25 and 32-38, and 1 more place -- 22.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
