[QUOTE=UnknowN Doodl3.2]meshuggah had one that was like 23/15 or something... dont know which song thouh[/QUOTE]

Hahaha no they didn't.

you cant have a X/15 time signature

only

/2
/4
/8
/16
/32

or 1/1 i guesssss


never heard it used in a song though

i would rather everything just be in 4/4 its so much easier. Im in symphonic band in hich school and i have a song i do on snare that goes from 4/4 to 9/8 to 3/4 to 7/8 and back. its really weird

ive heard of 1/1 but it is actually 3/4 so i guess its not the same

6/4 sounds like 4/4.

how is it basically 3/4, its not 3/4 at all! Dream theater-metropolis has a bit on 13/16 i think, also any dillinger escape play (especially of calculating infinity album)

1/1?

One whole note per bar... Isn't that 4/4?

yeh its 2/2 aswell and 8/8 but its not 3.4 lol

I love it when I hear people talk about time sigs then do something like 3/4 3/4 then 2/4 (3 bars 3 sigs sounds tricky) but it still adds up to 8 and sounds..well....8/4 lol

True.

One day I will make a 32/16 catchy song.

Ron Jarzombek - Headache And A 64th
65/64 time in the first bit.. it sounds so close to 4/4, but there's just that little bit extra at the end of the bar. after that.. who knows... it's mental, or Spastic if you like..

Also.. Spiral Architect, any song. But Insect has a bit at the end that adds up to 31/8.

For something simpler and more natural sounding... Soundgarden is a good choice.

Thats "three and three-fourths over four" yes.

rope ends by pain of salvation... very wierd

[QUOTE=deathbeforedisco]rope ends by pain of salvation... very wierd[/QUOTE]

indeed

john petrucci has 28/4 in beyond this life, thats not wierd its just ****ing fast

Actually the time signature has nothing to do with the tempo. 28/4 is not inherently faster than 4/4 or anything else.

Yup :thumb:

Dillinger is crazy **** to play. i dont even wanna dabble in the theory behind it

[QUOTE=Raiven]1/1?

One whole note per bar... Isn't that 4/4?[/QUOTE]not at all. a whole note doesn't have any set number of beats. In 1/1 it has one beat. In 4/4 it has four. 1/1 is the same thing as 1/2 and 1/4 and 1/64 just written differently.

[QUOTE=ThePanicInNeedlePark]how is it basically 3/4, its not 3/4 at all![/QUOTE]I'm just guessing here but if the measures came in sets of three then it could sound like 3/4. Or this guy might have no idea what he's talking about.


In a time signature the bottom note tells you what type of note gets one beat. The top note tells you how many there are.
Then there are special ones where sets of three of the bottom number get one beat. Like 6/8 has two beats (two sets of 3 eighth notes). 8/8 is sometimes used as three beats. Two beats being 3 eighth notes and one being 2.

I have a thing for changing time signatures, and the drummer hates me for it.

[QUOTE=ventura]4/4 will forever elude me.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

mars volta pretty much uses 6/4 or something in most of their songs, and also 15/9 i think or something i dunno

what the hell is a 15/9?

Most of these time signatures that were suggested here probably don't exist and never have. 25/32? Is that even in a song, or an electronic drum beat experiment?

Guys like DEP and Meshuggah don't seem to be using outrageous time signatures to me, they just change it often in a song to throw people off.

19/8 I believe.[/QUOTE]

Have you got that 6/8 worked out yet? :p

[/QUOTE]

There's a measure of 1/64 in there too, I think.

Meshuggah-Destroy, Erase, Improve (pretty cool drumming, for me that is)
Mr.Bungle-second album, I forgot the name. Anyways the second or third song has bass and sax playing note for note, when shred riffage comes in with off tempo drums. It's very interesting.

[QUOTE=DeathHawk]The top number is the NUMBER of notes

The bottom is the TYPE of notes

So 5/4 would be 5 quarter notes.[/QUOTE]

thats right only to the extent that the bottom number is 4. It gets harder to read or understand when it changes to say an 8 or 16.

but i believe main verse of MOP was written in 4/4 and 13/16.

I still think this Jazz group > all of Meshuggah and Dellinger with their 3 +3/4 / 4

Essentially its 15/16, but the quarter note gets the beat. Its just about the hardest thing I've ever counted.
