What exactly are you looking to know?

I'm not a drummer, but in the second verse, the drums are essentially a dance beat; 16th note rhythm on the high hat; kick and snare on 1,3 and 2,4 respectively.

The high hat has a certain quality due to the processing used in the recording; it's likely a hat from a drum machine, but I can't verify that.

 

Do you mean the "clipity-clap" percussion that starts the song? I'm not sure what's used on the recording, but you can emulate that by playing the rhythmic pattern on the rim of one of the drums.
