239 bars of 4/4 at 111 BPM, about 8:37 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

kick and crashes through bars 1-10, ride through bars 11-30, hi-hat through bars 31-42, ride through bars 43-44, hi-hat through bars 45-46 and ride through bars 47-62, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 13-14, 17 and 21, and 19 more places -- 13.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
