157 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:49 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-11, hi-hat through bars 12-13, snare through bars 14-19, hi-hat through bars 20-44, snare through bars 45-54 and hi-hat through bars 55-59, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 12-17, 45-59 and 94-108, and 1 more place -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
