131 bars at 157 BPM -- fast, and 3:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-20, ride through bars 21-24, hi-hat through bars 25-28, ride through bars 29-32 and toms through bars 33-48, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-20, 25-28 and 69-72, and 14 more places -- 28.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
