Interesting to find out what some of these sound like...14 different ways of hitting a drum!! 😏

Thanks…. Never knew “Hey Yah” was in 11/2.

It's definitely not in 11/2. It's in 4/4, with a bar of 2/4 every now and then.

That fits more with what he said/played, but he flashed up 11/2 before he said it (7mins 20secs).

I think he got 11/2 by counting half notes (at least that what he says).

Yes - he says "that phrase [half a verse of Hey Ya] could be considered to be in 11/2", and I suppose if you count half-feel beats, then there are indeed 11 of them - but that's not what a time signature is!  In the same way as you wouldn't ever consider half a verse of (say) Valerie to be in a time signature of 16/2 (when it's just 8 bars of 4/4).  He's come up with at best an odd way to think of things, and I would say confusing/misguided.

That he’s wearing the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter probably tells you all you need to know 😀
