I was wondering if any one could help me out with an issuie i was having....in the begenning of A Past Beyond Memory ware it's mainly drums with guitar strokes every once in awile, I can't figure out what time signture it is in. The best I can do is to describe it as a really slow 3/4 bar with the guitars hitting on 1 and 3. But it's really ruff and aquard when i count it that way. Can anybody help me out? Maybe I'm just over thinking it to much, but I'm pretty posative its not in 4/4.

I think it's 7/4. If you count the quarter notes (the first four or five cymbal hits are a good guide for the tempo of the quarter notes) very steadily without letting the backbeat switchup distract you, you can count a solid 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.
Or 1 2 3 4 1 2 3. Whatever works for you.
I could very easily be wrong. Theory is not my strong suit. I think it just feels awkard cause after the first 4 count, he waits an extra 8th note or something before continuing. Definitely throws the listener off. Wicked part, btw, when I first heard the album, this track really stood out.
