If you want music to change then challenge sterotypes. I love 4/4 and i love 16 bars but i refuse to be confined by it. I will do whatever feels good.

By the way i love threads like this! Looking forward to seeing what people think..

I'll play you my drum-n-bass 7/8 hip-hop track. I think you'd dig it.

Long story short em kills it, as usual

I'm feeling it in two sets of three eighth notes, so I'd call it 6/8.

He also has a joint called "Underground" in 5/4.

7 8 ? Really ? Nice ..I like 7 s because you can follow off of a hit per beat.into a.crash on.the.off beats. Makes for a.nice building moment. Look forward to hearing. You know me and.drums.

cool story, if nas wants your beat you give it to him

would love to hear the full r/b version though if there was one.

Ok, ANyone who wants to see some amazing time sig changes..listen to some Tori amos..or some Tool.

Tori if you dont know - get to know - is like an alternative vibe and Tool is a heavy metal band. Also check out Bjork..

Say no more..
