These are just some random beats I thought of w/ weird time signatures.

RB=bell of ride cymbal
tt=triplet

This frst one is in 7/4 time. Not that hard, just a weird time signature.
                                                       <<<<<<<<<<<<
S|OooOooOooOooOooOooooooooooOo|OooOooOooOooOooOooooO-O-ooooooOOOOOO|
B|----------------------------|------------------------------------|
  1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a5e+a6e+a7e+a 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a5e+a6 e + a 7 e + a

This next beat is more technically demanding and requires a much greater deal of coordination. This one should take practice to perfect.

C|----------------x-------|----x-------------------|

R|---------------x--------|----------x-------------|
H|-x--x---x-------------x-|------x-x---x-------x---|

  1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a5e+a6e+a 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a5e+a6e+a 

This next beat is just in regular 4/4 time.  Nothing weird.  I just like it.
