hi-hat through bars 1-15, toms through bars 16-17, ride through bars 18-25, hi-hat through bars 26-41, toms through bars 42-43 and ride through bars 44-45, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 44-45, 48-49 and 53-54, and 14 more places -- 27.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
