silence through bars 1-7, hi-hat through bars 8-34, ride through bars 35-40, hi-hat through bars 41-42, toms through bars 43-44 and hi-hat through bars 45-46, and 19 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 51-57, 93-99 and 101-107, and 3 more places -- 26.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
