278 bars at 171 BPM -- fast, and 6:29 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 1-15, snare through bars 16-27, hi-hat through bars 28-29, silence through bars 30-36, snare through bars 37-38 and toms through bars 39-41, and 25 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-18, 23-24 and 42, and 18 more places -- 21.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
