silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-16, kick and crashes through bars 17-20, hi-hat through bars 21-56, toms through bars 57-64 and hi-hat through bars 65-89, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-16 and 43-47 -- 12.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
