snare through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-20, ride through bars 21-28, hi-hat through bars 29-36 and snare through bars 37-46, and 3 more changes after that.

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-11 and 21-27 -- 19.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
