You actually don't have any idea what i'm talking about.

Whoa, nelly! I've been agreeing with you and saying EXACTLY what you're saying the whole thread, Jim. You're really taking my joke about all metal drummers playing at 200bpm and running with it.

I simply was saying that time signature doesn't matter, because I thought I read you saying it does. You actually said DOESN'T. They write quarter = bpm on a metronome for a reason. The quarter is the usual default measure of tempo. However, in say a swing groove you'd figure the DOTTED quarter gets the beat, and would write it at b.=120bpm, etc....

But I'm preaching to the choir, because we're saying the same damned thing. 32nd notes are meaningless until you know what it's a 32nd OF.
