  This is very cool, and you did a great job with the drums as well! I always have a ton of trouble trying to do drums for odd time signatures and maintain a good groove for it.
  
  Did you use addictive drums for this? Any chance you'd share the drum score ( or midi if you used addictive )? =)
- mattacuk31st October 2007

  Yeah know, I never really have seen the point of different time signatures. It all sounds like the same to me!

  To those of you who aren't quite sure what time-signatures are all about. I suggest going through these two of Andrew's theory lessons real carefully:
  
  time signature
  
  odd time signatures
  
  Basically it means that if a riff doesn't loop evenly (meaning you can count to 2, 4 or 8) - it's an odd time signature. This is quite unusual so it gives a different, unexpected vibe!

  Sounds good, and i went through andrews lessons but i don't get time signatures at all. This is why i never touch theory

  exorcyze: I used Native Battery, be patient for the midi track.
  Pavel: you're right!
  Juan: you're lucky. This year I don't see DT here in Italy.
