    Um...if there is such a thing as a 9/5 or 13/5 beat, I want my money back from Esther Boyer School of Music at Temple U. We were told over the
    course of four years that the bottom number is always 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,
    some exponent of 2. Maybe Harry Partch has something to say about this.

    Hi there, I am not a drummer but I have just read a story in which the
    hero who is fine musician hears a chap drumming with a 9/5 beat and
    then he moves to 13/5. I asked my drummer son-in-law to play this for
    me but he can't figure out how this is done.

    Can anyone help with sheet music or a tune I might know or a sound
    clip I can hear?

    Jon, much puzzled on Vancouver ISland
