113 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 185 BPM, 3:35 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-12, ride through bars 13-17, hi-hat through bars 18-25, snare through bars 26-34 and toms through bars 35-39, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28-30, 56 and 58, and 1 more place -- 9.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
