166 bars at 158 BPM -- fast, and 4:12 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

ride through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-12, ride through bars 13-18, hi-hat through bars 19-32, ride through bars 33-40 and hi-hat through bars 41-42, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 19-21 and 25-27, and 11 more places -- 21.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
