Fun tempo exercise - "Money"

Post by jdogric12 »

Here's a fun exercise I thought of after reading the tempo thread in this topic.

Listen to "Money" from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and see how many tempo changes you can count. When I did this two years ago I think I got 4 or 5.

Note: not time signature changes (like 7/4 to 4/4) but just tempo changes (like 120 bpm to 130 bpm). A metronome or drum machine with a "tap" feature will make this much easier.

Compare the tempo of the head to that of the final verse! Crazy!
