240 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 5:11 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-8, ride through bars 9-12, snare through bars 13-16, ride through bars 17-20 and hi-hat through bars 21-36, and 25 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 29-36, and 9 more places -- 23.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
