the cool thing is that with the triple meter the laser shots line up

Great video. Great info. I’m a fan of the triplet feel too. Adds more suspense in my opinion.

The result would sound even better if you superimpose triples feel to binary pulse, the true "african style" layers. For example a dotted eight note, a dotted quarter note pulse or even a quarter note triplet pulse over a straight 4/4 beat. This way you'll get the best of both world and the interlocking polyrhythmics create an even more intense groove.

I would say, as always, it depends on the context of the scene. The 4/4 gives a better feel if this scene is more run of the mill and these pilots are experts performing their craft and perhaps building tension to something that happens later. The 6/8 is more appropriate if this scene is a big deal.

In this particular case definitely triplets feel.
