189 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:47 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

hi-hat through bar 1, ride through bars 2-13, hi-hat through bars 14-18, silence through bars 19-21, hi-hat through bars 22-41 and ride through bars 42-48, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26-28, 30-32 and 34-36, and 8 more places -- 18.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
