Think of a measure of 7/8 as being 3.5 beats long. This isn't the
"canonical" way that a musician would think of it,
You're not kidding! Standard musical practice (I suspect amongst
drummers too) is to divide such patterns into "squares and triangles" -
2+2+3, or 3+2+2; sometimes 4+3. Some modern scores actually notate it
that way, too.
Even 8/8 is not safe: think Bartok's pieces in "Bulgarian Rhythm" : 3 +
3+2. You will want everything to fit those accents, ~not~ quarter-notes.
but it makes perfect
sense to a drummer contemplating polyrhythms, and it does have the
advantage of a "beat" remaining constant in duration across meter
changes (unless there are also tempo changes).
I am intrigued to know how that is an advantage. Crotchets with everything?
