What Time Signature Are Cemeteries of london/ Death and all his friends In hmm

Featured Replies

im sure thier not 4/4 but i cant work out what they are, i mean in death and all his friends form when the guitar kicks in towards the end i think it switches

Yeah I've been wondering that too. Will has mentioned that there a few different time sigs. on this album but I can't figure out what they are exactly. They should be in the piano and tab books, so look out for them for when they're released.

Cemeteries of London sounds like 3/4 to me.

Ā 

Figuring out DAAHF right now.

Actually I think I remember Will mentioning that Cemeteries was 3/4, so you're probably right there Alyssa!

well done! death and all his friends is deffo different you can tell from the way they sing the outro its not 4/4 just not sure what it is, might be 6/8

Whoops! I forgot to post earlier. DAAHF is 7/4. One of my favorite time sigs!

It feels natural after a while! <3 I hardly even noticed it wasn't in standard 4/4 until someone mentioned it! :laugh3:

Cemeteries is in 3/4, DAAHF changes to 7/4 in the middle bit, and I think the Escapist is in 9/4 but I'm not entirely sure...

Doesn't Cemeteries sounded more 6/8?

I mean, it sounds easier to follow cause 3/4 would seem too short/quick for the drums.......?:confused:

Ā 

*edit*

Yeah, it's got to be 6/8. The triplets-rhythm is definitely there and the chord progressions fit.

Death And All His friends is in 4|4 and changes at 02:18 to 7|4

Ā 

And Cemeteries of London in 6|8

The drums for Cemteries are played in: |TEMPO: 100 |

Ā 

HELPLINE|===3===---------|

BASSDRUM|Q----H-----Q----|

Ā 

Q = Quarter note HIT

H = Half note hit

'==3==' = TUPLET 3th

Ā 

I've added a MIDI file to let you hear the time sig.

The bass in the midi is not correct on it place.

But only for the notes to let it regonize you.

Ā 

If you want to hear the bass only, listen to the right channel.

And for the drumline the left.

Grazie, Stephan. :)

Cemeteries sounds like jigs, and those tend to be in 6/8. Woohoo :P

Cemeteries of London is technically 12/8, if I am not mistaken. That's why it dounds like both 6/8 and 4/4 time.

  • 7 months later...

Cemeteris Of London definitely sounds like 6/8.

Ā 

I think that Twisted Logic is also 6/8, but it might just be triplets
