220 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 4:23 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-17, silence through bars 18-19, toms through bars 20-23, snare through bars 24-27 and ride through bars 28-35, and 18 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 40-46, 48 and 52, and 14 more places -- 16.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
