hi-hat through bars 1-29, toms through bars 30-32, hi-hat through bars 33-80, toms through bars 81-82, hi-hat through bars 83-88 and toms through bars 89-90, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-9, 11-12 and 15-17, and 9 more places -- 30.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
