Please help! What is the time signature of this drum sample, that comes with Garageband, but I no longer have the software. I'm curious what time signature this is.

Well, in case it'd help, I'd see it as a 16 loop of that sort:

Code: Select all

+...+...+...+...
W_WwWwWwWwWwWw__
____S__S____S___
B_____B___B__B__
with:

W and w for a Washboard like hit'n'rattle
S for a snare like (and hat)
B for a BD like boom

Yes, 4/4 with a straight 16th note feel.
