snare through bars 1-17, silence through bars 18-22, hi-hat through bars 23-25, snare through bars 26-33, ride through bars 34-41 and hi-hat through bars 42-48, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-8, 10-16 and 49-55, and 1 more place -- 28% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
