Pretty sure it's 7/4 timing...i.e. the riff/beat counts seven before repeating...so on the seventh hit the bass drum(kick) twice and snare on the second, once repeated...and continue...

sort of like :

1-2-1-2-1-2-1-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-1 etc...(1=bass drum, 2=snare)
They play part of it more "straight" at the "Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.", "I'm alright Jack, keep your hands off of my stack", "Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie" parts whenever that part of the music comes up. Nick or Gary does a fill there to keep it together. It not reall different rhythmically than the version on Dark Side of The Moon, but emphasizes the shift in rhythm.

yep 7/4 up untill the first gutiar solo where it shifts to 4/4 with a triplet feel, so its argueable that that part is in 12/8


i rememebr roger saying that money was in 7/8 a few times (dsotm dvd and itf extra features) but he is wrong. im near sure i've heared dave say it too, but i would be more surprised about dave getting it wrong.

the time signature for money is 7/4 (x8), 8/4 (x1) 6/4 (x1), and then moves into 4 for the solos and fadeout...there are a couple of ways I would count it, but that's what was transcribed in a score I have from the 70s

...nick mason is a very distinctive drummer; in his book "Inside Out," he mentions that he experimented with his drumming style during the early 70s...

...and to the list of drumming greats, I would add Neil Peart, Wil Calhoun, and Bill Bruford, and even bigger heros await in the jazz world...

Did you also not know about Rick Wright playing with Dave Gilmour? You can see it on the "David Gilmour In Concert" DVD.

So we have 2 halves of PF reunited...now if only those 2 halves can get together!
Um all three nick, rick, and david played on the pulse tour :blues: Its just roger needed to get back in.

In the echoes book it says money starts with 7/4 timing. Then it goes to 4/4 during "New car caviar" lyric set, then it changes to 6/4 when it goes to the "football team", "learjet" part of that lyric set, then it stays in 6/4 during the sax solo. Then when the 244 riff begins it is in 4/4 again for the guitar solo and goes back to 7/4 after the solo. Then finally it at the very end when he says "way" of away it changes to 4/4 and stays like that as it fades out.
