drummers: hHelp me become a masterbeater. (ain't got no rythm)

DriftingByTheStorm

Any drummers on here?
anyone with a SOLID understanding of rythm and complex time signatures know of any GOOD FREE INTERNET RESOURCES for time signatures, and maybe some sort of sound clips of beats in different sigs (like 7/8 and stuff) ...

also ...
any idea WHAT TIME GIVEN TO FLY is in?
it's something wierd, right?

I just want to learn how to count out complex times like that,
because currently it loses me ...

and i think the beats i hear in my head are in complex time too, and if i could get them in to tab form on my computer i'd be fukin' groovin' ... but since i can't make sense of it, i'm screwed.

ideas?q

is it really ? ? ?

it's not particularly easy to stomp your foot in 4/4 to it ... maybe just a peculiar guitar part?

wierd.

i'd still like to find some drumming resources out there.
maybe i'll go try and look harder.
