silence through bars 1-6, kick and crashes through bars 7-8, snare through bars 9-16, kick and crashes through bars 17-20, hi-hat through bars 21-22 and toms through bars 23-24, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-13, 15 and 25-29, and 5 more places -- 16.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
