Help needed to identify time signature?

Bungle1

This was written by my old band, we recorded the drums live so never needed to set metronomes etc. I've written a new tune that follows a similar pattern but I need to use MIDI loops to create the drum track. I can't really tell if its 6/4, 6/8, 3/4 etc.

If someone who knows more about this could have a listen and give me their opinion it would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

viz

It's not 3/4 because the beats are too fast for that. It could be 6/8 but that's not ideal because the round is composed of four bars not two. So best is either the compound quadruple signature of 12/8, or it could be 4/2, with the strumming in triplets. (They amount to the same thing). I prefer the latter, because later on in the song the drummer also beats on the crotchet as well as the triplets, in that familiar 'strawberry flan' rhythm.

It's good by the way, I liked it!

Nice song

It's a compound meter.

Either 12/8 or 6/8,

I'm leaning more towards 6/8 as it seems to bounce along in blocks of 2 beats. Vocals for one bar, guitar answering phrase for another bar.

This made me laugh....I can imagine the following note being drafted in the late 70's

Toad-O-Line? Time Sig? What the fuck....
