Here is an easy example of how to feel 7/8. First, relate the 7/8 meter to something very easy...like 4/4:
* * * *
1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4
The asterisk is where you tap your hand. And you count out loud "1,2,3,4". The "1" gets the tap. Get it? Good. Easy enough. Now, do the same thing, but on the 2nd "1,2,3,4" remove the "4". So you get this:
* * * *
1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 / 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3
TA-DA! 7/8 Time Signature! Here is a link to me counting it for you if it still is not clear:

And here is a link to a drummer playing an improv in 7/8. He goes off a bit in the vid, but right in the beginning if you start counting in 7/8, you'll right away hear the feel:

Hope this helps!

h*ll
o mate
6/8 means that you play a triplet for each beat and that the measure is made of two beats. It is quite common in slow songs like Metallica's One or Red hot chili peppers's Breaking the girl, also Iron Maiden Journeyman or Strange world or the dance of death intro. When i play it I regularly tap my foot and accent the first note of the triplet (i usually play them with downstrokes only since they usually are slow songs). Another way is to feel them as a fast waltz in 3/4 meter so that each note of the triplet is played like a different beat
Regarding 7/8 i don't play any song in that meter but i will go with Santo's suggestion

If you knew what Troys says about it then why you didnŽt just do it?...
Anyway, yes I feel 6/8 like 2/4 but in triplets, but you can only feel it, not actually read it, because in 6/8 youŽll have a lot of dotted notes feeling like regular notes on 4/4.

Ok,just like Troy says.
But I'm getting more and more confused with the compound and odd meters.
"Compound meter can be transcribed in simple using triplets. Likewise, simple meter can be shown in compound through duples."
I read that somewhere and my question is the following:can I imagine that a 6/8 meter is the same with a 2/4 meter where the the beats are triplets?

Hi
I've been playing the drums for 16 years, so believe me, use Santo's idea. Holding your foot in the air is uncomfortable, and your tempo will be bad.
Believe it!

| Or you can tap your foot double time, in 8th notes and count 1, 2, 3, 4 - 1, 2, 3

| Ok I get it,that means that if tap my foot 3 times then i must hold my foot on the air on the compound beat for a little longer.

nope you can't consider it a triplet.
practice with pink floyd "money"
and
porcupine tree "sound of muzak"
those are 2 songs in 7/4 where the counting is slower than 7/8 so you get used to "feeling" a measure of 7.

How many times do I tap my foot when I play 7/8 time?One way is to count 7 eighth notes.
But can I set the the metronome so that it counts 3 beats per bar or is that wrong?Since this odd meter consists of two simple beats and one compound beat can't I simply consider the compound beat as a triplet?
