lol u think i did?

alternates between 5/4 and 6/4 I think. The second measure might be a 11/8 (13/8?) in some places.

that's pretty cool

You're half right. The middle section of the loop alternates between 5/4(8?) and 6/4(8?).

Have another one right here.

ah I see now. The second measure at the beginning is 3+3+3+2+2 eighth notes is it not? So 5/4+13/8

>>73785550
Yep!

Alright, one more.

Just beginning to learn drumming, so correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't it technically impossible to completely 100% accurately deduce the time signature of a song just by listening to it?
Pic related (excuse its shittiness) should explain my point. Both have different time signatures, but when played would sound the exact same. So how'd you know that the below song, when played in a bar or at your home or wherever, is actually in 3/8 instead of 3/4? Both sound like 1-2-3 1-2-3. You'd need the original sheet music to actually know.
Not to mention how any song can theoretically be written in 4/4. Even the goddamn Rite of Spring was rewritten in common time.

3/4 is 3 beats divided into 2. 3/8 is 1 beat divided into 3.

That is a good point, this is just sort of a fun little thing, and I'd say the songs are structured enough to where you can pick out at least the top number.

I would say you can intuitively guess based on tempo. If it's triple meter and the tempo is really slow, it's probably 3/8. "Normal tempo" to fast, it's 3/4.
