There seems to be an exception made in music theory for stuff that's easily divisible. I'm sure most stuff as you descibe could be easily counted as all in 12/8 (ie. swing). This is presuming he never lays down patterns of 16th notes and 24ths or something... but I don't recall him ever doing that.
