toms through bars 1-17, silence through bars 18-22, snare through bars 23-30, hi-hat through bars 31-34, toms through bars 35-50 and kick and crashes through bars 51-52, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-6, 9-14 and 35-40, and 3 more places -- 27.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
