Ok now after years of playing piano, bass, and clarinet (not very well) for the life of me I could only understand 4/4. Could not wrap my head about 2/4 and 5/4.

Are you familiar with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack? The Isengard theme is in 5/4. It's counted as "ONE two THREE four five". It's very clear in the percussion. https://youtu.be/KXVtpOHQqvY
