165 bars, 9:26, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

silence through bars 1-7, hi-hat through bars 8-12, ride through bars 13-34, hi-hat through bars 35-39, ride through bars 40-62 and hi-hat through bars 63-70, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-15, 27 and 50, and 17 more places -- 31.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
