His melody is very active with alot of notes, but there's still the strong beat on the 1 followed by three other beats. The slow tempo kind of throws that off.

The bass drum is syncopated and kicking on off beats, with an asymmetrical pattern, which is why you might have thought the meter was unconventional.
