Zimmer is a composer famous for his work on the "epic" genre of action and adventure

When discerning the rhythm of a piece, try to count it out. Tap your toes or clap your
hands along to the beat of the piece and see if you can find a pattern. When you tap along to
"Time," you may notice that after you count to four, the chord changes. That is
