70 bars at 171 BPM -- fast, and 1:38 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-28, snare through bars 29-31, hi-hat through bars 32-35, toms through bars 36-38 and ride through bars 39-43, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61, 63 and 65-70 -- 12.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
