I wouldn't tie myself down to a speed in this way but go with what sounds/feels right once you've got it properly up and running (limping/strolling). A musically convincing performance can often happen at a surprising variety of speeds.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) well i never was that great at telling time signatures lol one of the main bar divisions is about 60 though, you just have to work out which one, but i guess that won't be too hard. although as sbhoa said, it can probably be played at a whole range of different speeds and still be affective.

So, if you can turn up a track length, a bit of very simple arithmetic should yield the MM for that particular recording. T.
