Sneak Peek and Name That Time Signature(s)

This clip is HEAVY compared to what I normally do but my next video is on polymeter, and I've been making parts of the video before I undergo final filming.  The audio clip I've attached is for a section near the end the end of the video where I demonstrate how easy it is to make complicated music with polymeter, although most of the video will be demonstrating more tame examples of it. 

Any guesses on the time signatures I used? There are three elements- the guitar riff (which is synched with the kick drum for the first half), the remaining drums (hi-hat and snare), and the weird keyboards that come in after a few measures. 

In sum there are 3 time signatures playing, although in the second half, the drums accent things dfferently. 

I'll upload the tab (it's pretty much only two measures of guitar!) after the video posts, look for it on Wednesday or Thursday.

I like it.

Bingo! The guitar/bass riff is just a measure of 7/8 and then a slight variation on that same measure. The drums plow ahead in 4/4 but the kick drum outlines the 7/8 pattern. Every once in a while, the drums accent the guitar part to throw things out of groove. Lastly the keyboard things pluck away at a melody that takes up 5 quarter notes

I think the first measure is 7/4.
