THEY'RE ALL THE SAME, DAMNIT!! If we're playing a song, and the metranome says 100bpms, and you're doing 1/4 notes... then you're doing 400 notes a minute... but if you turn the metranome up to 200bpms, and you do 1/2 notes, then you're playing the EXACT SAME SPEED. it's all where you put the pulse/downbeat. That's true in everything BUT metal, where every band/song seems to be the same friggin tempos anyway. 200bpm, and chugs on the low E (or b, for 7 stringers). Because it can be that generic, most musicians will refer to the breakdown of triplets, 8ths, 16th, 32s, etc... as subdivisions of a set speed, and not mathematical components that can be applied to other tempos (or other drums, even.) I thought about this over the weekend.. and it hit me: If we're talking about metal, which is generally around 200bpm, then why the hell are anything faster than 1/4 notes being discussed? Never mind 32nd notes, frieking 1/8 notes at that speed are faster than George Kollias of NILE, Inferno of BEHEMOTH, or John Longstreth of ORIGIN. In the George Kollias instructional video they point out during a bass drum excercise when he's playing 1/4 notes at 280bpm.... just to compare, if you were talking about 1/8th notes at 200bpm, (roughly what most metal is at.) That would be the same as saying you could do 1/4 notes at 400bpms... which is 120-1/4 notes per minute faster than George Kollias in NILE. (Sadly, in my bass drum excercises I'm still at about 210bpms with 1/4 notes... maybe in a couple more years i'll be able to play NILE songs..... maybe, maybe not.) I'm not trying to say "I told you so" with this, I just wanted to clarify for future comprehension purposes. (for everyone)
