does anyone write music looking for written drumset solos to practice. i write music but i have played them all looking for more pieces. if anyone wants take a look at them please email me at drummer7771212@yahoo.com and let me know what you think. be honest you will not hurt my feelings. how else are you going to know if you can write music or not(constructive criticism).
many famous drummers were told they couldn't do it but they persevered and look at them now. (never quit or be discouraged)

I am unsure about odd meters. can anyone help me out.
Lets say I have a piece of music at 60 bpm my first measure is in 4/4 and they are eighth notes. My second measure is in 5/8 with beats 2 ,3 and 5 subdivided then after that i have a 5/16 measure with subdivisions on beats 3 and 5. my next measure is in 3/32 with no subdivisions. finally my next measures are in 7/8 with no subdivisions and ending with a measure in 7/16.
how do i count this and where do my foot taps or beats fall? im having problems playing simply because i dont know where the beats fall.

thanks for any help
