180 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:30 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-14, toms through bars 15-16, hi-hat through bars 17-52, ride through bars 53-54 and snare through bars 55-60, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 43, 47 and 49-51, and 6 more places -- 20.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
