122 bars of 4/4 at 150 BPM, about 3:14 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-6, ride through bars 7-10, snare through bars 11-42, ride through bars 43-46, hi-hat through bars 47-50 and snare through bars 51-54, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 27-34, 39-42 and 51-54, and 3 more places -- 34.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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