202 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 4:42 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

kick and crashes through bars 3-10, hi-hat through bars 11-22, toms through bars 23-24, hi-hat through bars 25-30, ride through bars 31-36 and hi-hat through bars 37-60, and 21 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-22, 37 and 39-40, and 19 more places -- 25.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
