well - the master of odd time things is Meshuggah .. the singer is crap, but the rythms are completely "out there"..
and dram theater of course - get one of their songbooks and play along with the record - that will also help.

The point where it starts to be interresting is when it comes to timechanges like 7/8 to 9/8 or something like that. if you can play it well along with a good drumer it sounds absolutely cool. or polyrythms like for example you play a 5/4 riff over a 4/4 drumbeat. sounds cool for every beat sounds different allthough the riff doesnt change. Just the expression of the beats changes for the "1" hits different notes in the riff every beat untill it eventually comes back to where it started.. confuzzled? *L*
