silence through bars 1-7, toms through bars 8-9, hi-hat through bars 10-57, ride through bars 58-73, hi-hat through bars 74-105 and ride through bars 106-121, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10-16, 18-24 and 26-32, and 5 more places -- 33.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
