What is/are the time signature(s) of All Things Ninja?

In general it's one bar of 4/4 and then one bar of 7/8 (so essentially every two bars they skip half a beat)

Thanks for the help.

Anybody ever figure out the middle of Jajunk, that always leads to the jams? Seems like Kris is in 4 and the guitars are maybe in 6?

this is what Stephen Ignagni (the guy who tabbed out the whole Anchor Drops CD) said:


Here it stays 4/4 time, but this riff is written in 9/4 time,
so you get that cool revolving effect.

Anybody know how to count the entire ending groove of Out of Order?  I'm talking about the Dm - C part.  3 bars of 4/4, then...

Assuming I'm starting in the right place, it's broken up into one four-bar and one five-bar section:

1) 4/4 for three measures, then a bar of 5/8.
2) 4/4 for three measures, then a bar of 3/4 and a bar of 5/8 (or one long bar of 11/8, but to stick with the pattern in the first section, I think it should be broken out into two bars).
...and repeat.

I figured out the JaJunk riff, it's a lot simpler than I thought. Each note the guitars play is a dotted eighth note (three-quarters of a quarter note), so each note is the same length and the first of every four notes falls on a downbeat. A note lands on a downbeat once every three beats, so there is a downbeat on the 1, the 4, the 3 of the 2nd measure, the 2 of the 3rd measure, etc.
