ride through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-16, ride through bars 17-24, hi-hat through bars 25-38, ride through bars 39-41 and toms through bars 42-43, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-7, 17-19 and 21-23, and 3 more places -- 14.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
