145 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:25 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-24, snare through bars 25-40, hi-hat through bars 41-64, snare through bars 65-89 and ride through bars 90-96, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-19, 21-22 and 49, and 2 more places -- 8.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
