As someone who doesn't look at too much sheet music, I'm curious as to whether the terms "12/8" and "4/4 with a swing feel" can be used completely interchangeably, or if there really is a difference. If there is no real difference, is one conventionally used more than the other? If there is a difference between the two, would anyone mind giving me some examples of songs that illustrate each one?
Also, what would you call the time signature of this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvBPCm25z4I
18/16 is the only guess I have.
Actually, I think a better question than all of this would be, does anyone know of any resources that would show you generic drum beats for all of the most common time signatures? That way I would better understand the difference between say 6/8 and 12/8, and other distinctions I'm kind of fuzzy on. Does anyone know if anything like this exists?
many thanks
