150 bars of 4/4 at 115 BPM, about 6:08 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, kick and crashes through bars 5-6, ride through bars 7-16, kick and crashes through bars 17-20, ride through bars 21-28 and hi-hat through bars 29-36, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-36, 41-56 and 73-75, and 1 more place -- 26.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
