99 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 2:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-7, snare through bars 8-20, hi-hat through bars 21-39, snare through bars 40-45 and hi-hat through bars 46-54, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-7, 21 and 27-32, and 3 more places -- 25.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
