166 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:42 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-55, silence through bars 56-62, hi-hat through bars 63-97, silence through bars 98-104 and hi-hat through bars 105-140, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-11, 13-19 and 71-77, and 2 more places -- 22.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
