158 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:43 of it without a break -- on ride, hi-hat, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-8, toms through bars 9-12, ride through bars 13-15, silence through bars 16-34 and ride through bars 35-56, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 39, 43-44 and 47, and 21 more places -- 29.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
