98 bars at 156 BPM -- fast, and 2:31 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bars 1-2, snare through bars 3-18, hi-hat through bars 19-74, toms through bars 75-78, kick and crashes through bars 79-80 and toms through bars 81-82, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19-21, 23-25 and 27-29, and 6 more places -- 21.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
