What is the time signature for the intro, and the rest of "Intolerance"
by TOOL on the Undertow album?

I beleive it's in 15, with 6 1/2 beats in the first part of the riff and 8
1/2 in the second. The rest of the song is just in 4. Danny Carey is an
AMAZING drummer. One of my favorites.

No, it's in 29/16!

But it's easier to think of it as 13/16 plus 16/16. The pulse goes 3:3:3:4
+ 3:3:3:3:2:2 (13 + 16) . Then it goes into 16/16 (4/4, 8/8, whatever
you like) for the verse.
