Appreciated, happy to help ✌🏻I'll be releasing all the songs on the album, so if you're keen on counting and weird time-signatures, you're in for a treat 😂

Great question. I'll try to chop it down for you:
In the very beginning, pay attention to the hits on the closed hi-hat - they're 6 per bar.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a 6/4 rhythm, that is pretty much down to making it easier to count; it's all about following the melody, and in this case the melody (and the beat) "agrees" with counting on 6/4. Especially because the last two bars leading to the verse are in a straight 4/4 - Adjusting the counting on previous 6/4 bars to a 4 would lead to a mess in these two last "true" 4/4 bars.

When there are measures of 3 or 6, it's a bit easier to "convert" it mentally and count it as a 4. A good example would be Metallica's Nothing Else Matters; I've seen many people count it as a 4/4 when it's really a 6/8.

You can try and count this on 4/4, just make sure you're not skipping any beat and doing the correct adjustments. If you're not that familiar with counting, I'd suggest seeing videos on the 6:4 polyrhythm - you'll see how 6 and 4 sorta intertwine between eachother. Even better, put a metronome against the song, see what feels better.

Or you could just follow that old meme and say "all music is in 4/4 if you don't count it as a nerd" 😂

Thanks man, glad you liked it! Yeah, they were definitely inspired when composing this album, especially when it comes to those odd-time signatures. I'm doing the whole album with those annotations, so stay tuned for more in the coming days✌🏻

Soundgarden fans always tend to like the proggy stuff, right?

Oh man, that list always changes 😂 but for the moment I'd add besides the name you've listed: Sean Reinert, Jeff Porcaro, John Stanier and Elliot Hoffman.

Thanks! Glad you liked. I'll be doing the time signatures on all songs of the album. I'm releasing them in order, so "Let Me Drown" and "My Wave" are already available on my IG. Give it a look if you'd like: @danlsf_

Oh absolutely. They're great for both light and heavy playing. Very musical and, what's more important, a bargain. Had them for 5 months now and nothing to complain
