Hello internet people. 

I’ve been away for a while working on writing music, practicing to get less bad, and working on my production skills. Another thing I’ve been trying to work on is writing in odd time signatures. Most of the times that I’ve tried, I just end up in 4/4 every time some how 🤦‍♂️ 

Today, I was fiddling around and came up with this simple riff, and I realized that, for once, it’s definitely not in 4/4 (I think). I threw together a simple midi drum beat with a kick, snare, and a few cymbals, laid a simple bass line on it, and tried my hardest to count it out, and I simply cannot quite figure out what the time signature is. The only thing I am (99%) sure of is that it is not 4/4. 

Full disclosure, my music theory knowledge is just a c-hair greater than 0. The closest I could come to counting it out, I think it might be 9/4? Or 18/8? (Are those the same thing?) Or something like that? I really don’t know, I’m hoping that someone with more music theory knowledge than myself can help me figure it out. In either case, I was pretty happy with myself for finally succeeding in creating a riff that was not 4/4 anyways. 

Thanks in advance, enjoy my chickens, love y’all 🐓😤❤️

What is the time signature?
