That's a very fast beat!

Great stuff, Vinnie. You got any recommendations for a good tempo for horizontal dancing?

cool video. though i could do without the "one" being repeated over and over. tho, i s'pose there are some unfamiliar w that music who might get confused in spots.

it's kinda cool because that tune that grooves like all get out....it clearly demonstrates that music needs to breathe and that it's not the end of the world if things speed up or slow down just a little bit if everyone is listening and playing together.

too many people have the mindset that the earth will spin off it's axis if the tempo moves even a little bit!

that's why drum machines and quantitized music sound so stiff and lifeless. (to my ears and taste, anyway)

Well, that makes more sense, and listening to it, I can hear it and although that's a fairly large change (97 to 112), I've played with drummers who change tempo that much (but not intentionally!)

I've played with that drummer!

I wish I could do this, but it would have to be in a band with much better players than I'm playing with now.
