63 bars at 220 BPM -- fast, and 1:03 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-9, ride through bars 10-16, snare through bars 17-18, ride through bars 19-27, snare through bars 28-29 and ride through bars 30-31, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-25, 41-43 and 45-48, and 2 more places -- 26.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
