What I really want to know -- are the slow, medium, and fast tempos really a good spread of tempos such that the slow ones can allow beginner students to get their foot in the door with finger cymbals and 3/4 shimmies?

Well, since my copy is on its way, I will let you all know.

I haven't listened repetitively enough yet to remember for sure, but it does start out with a slow piece using a chiftitelli rhythm (intended for warm up, but could work for anything where slow tempo is needed), and it has at least one piece that has a gradually building tempo for drilling shimmies, starting slow and getting faster and faster. It seemed to me to have a pretty good variety of tempos... but you'll be hearing it soon! Let us know what you think -
