Turns out, really fast. (the intro is faked, by the way)

  1. Tom Grosset's record may have been set outside of any musical context, but his 1208 strokes per minute is still suspiciously close to the 50 millisecond boundary between rhythm and pitch. (Exactly 1200 beats per minute is exactly 50 milliseconds per beat.)

  2. Daft Punk used this effect very cleverly at the end of “Giorgio by Moroder” on Random Access Memories. They used (what sounds like) an 808 kick drum played so quickly it sounds like a synth. Then, as it slows down, you start to notice the intervals until they finally slow it enough that it sounds like a 808 kick being played at around 80bpm or so. It’s gotta be one of my favorite endings to a song…
