I've heard people say to play 5/4 like a measure of 2/4 & a measure of 3/4. the problem with that is I'd tend to either play it as 3/4 as in 1-2 3 triplet (eighth note triplet) or 4/4 as 1-2 & a quarter note triplet and not actually 5/4

I've heard people say to play 5/4 like a measure of 2/4 & a measure of 3/4. When I hear Take Five I actually think of it exactly the opposite, i.e. 1-2-3-1-2. But speaking of Dave Brubeck. it you listen to Three to Get Ready you will hear all kinds of meter stuff going on. Song sounds so easy but take your eye off the ball for a second and you will trip up badly

There could still be a tendency to speed up on the 123 or 12
fortunately not too many songs I play are in 5/4 or even in any out of the ordinary time signatures.

12/8 only looks intimidating because of the 12--but really it is two measures of 6/8 with potentially a slight difference in accent, etc.
At least pieces I see written in 12/8 are that.

Exactly what I meant. 12/8 looks hard but it really isn't that bad
