I have been working on such rhythms for many years now. First was practicing using a metronome and analyzing how three fit against four. Took several years and I got to where I could feel the rhythms. Sometimes I do even a group of 13 in one hand and 9 in the other. Have never found anyone who does this, but would like to. I can do all the various combinations like 7 over 5 and 4 over 7 as well.
