130 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-17, ride through bars 18-41, hi-hat through bars 42-48, ride through bars 49-73 and hi-hat through bars 74-130.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-20, 22-24 and 26-28, and 7 more places -- 23.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
