half note is about 97, later more like 104. (check my time stamp below). So quarter note is close to 200 bpm. Friday night is a corrupted recording it runs faster than reality due to a slow tape real. The goal tempo should be around 95 (190) bpm. In my video I am doing 170 (85) I think. On gigs I set the drum machine to 95. But I would not do that paco lick in the middle from his solo on a gig. LOL.
