hi-hat through bars 1-16, ride through bars 17-32, hi-hat through bars 33-48, ride through bars 49-52, hi-hat through bars 53-54 and ride through bars 55-60, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21-23 and 25-27, and 9 more places -- 19.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 84 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
