120 bars at 161 BPM -- fast, and 2:59 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

toms through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-16, toms through bars 17-33, hi-hat through bars 34-36, ride through bars 37-38 and toms through bars 39-40, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-16, 45-51 and 81-95, and 1 more place -- 31.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
