I can't think of a situation where the drums are not playing in the time signature of the song.

That's how I figure it out. I find the down beats based on percussion - most of the time.

The fact is that you CAN count any song in any time signature. It's just gonna be awkward as hell. And that's the scenario in this song. If you hear 3/4 as the prominent rhythm in this song, I don't know what to say.
