257 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 196 BPM, 3:49 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-13, toms through bars 14-48, hi-hat through bars 49-52, ride through bars 53-56 and snare through bars 57-60, and 21 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-7, 9-13 and 33-51, and 7 more places -- 26.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
