And it is indeed quite an unusual combination! As anyone who has followed my music knows, I like to experiment with many different styles. My Djent/Dubstep video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FkVRop7D04 is a great example of the kind of cross genre experimentation I do! The song as well as a playalong version without drums is available here: http://lukesnyder.bandcamp.com/album/djentstep

This first section is written in 5/8, even if it doesn't sound like it! The drum part overlaid is in 4/4, which gives the illusion of being straight forward. However, if you listen to the way the guitar part interacts with it, you will see that the measures don't line up!

The "dubsteppy" section! You'll notice that the drums move to half time, and there are a lot of weird syncopations and metric modulations. This is all part of the dubstep style... trippy stuff!
0:46 - 1:03
Another round of that 5/8 guitar section. Drum part stays basically the same as the first time around!
1:04 - 1:26
My favorite part! This is a choppy, stop and start groove in 7/8. At one point, I play the pulse offset by a 16th on the china... crazy stuff! I love how this all came together!
1:27 - 1:56
The dubstep groove again! This time, the drum part is more active, I play some triplet blasts here in some places, and just generally change some stuff up.
