Thank you to Wave Potter for reacting to my song, "You Are Enough."
I did program the drums using EZ Drummer 2. When I was developing this song, I made a video of the drum track being played on EZ Drummer 2 with the time signature changes noted (see video below).
There are 3 time signatures in the song: 4/4, 3/4 (or multiples thereof - 6/4 is probably a better fit though) in the verses, 5/4 in the solo section.
I did make some sheet music from the midi file to a pdf and put it on my Google Drive. The sheet music isn't perfect, but may be helpful.

Thanks for your interest in my music. I appreciate it.
