104 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 2:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom and kick.

kick and crashes through bar 1, snare through bars 2-3, hi-hat through bars 4-19, ride through bars 20-27, hi-hat through bars 28-35 and ride through bars 36-47, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 26-27 and 37-39, and 6 more places -- 29.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
