About tempo
You will hear 60 bpm tempo from a metronome or anything else(for example: ticking clock) and will have no problem playing 140bpm tempo if you don't try to PLAY the TEMPO, but if you try to play the MUSIC.
I don't know if you can be a computer and produce a tempo. You are human.... that's why you need a metronome.
About beats and groove.
Every groove has some sense of Polyrhythm. You can google about Polyrhythm. No contemporary music sounds like they are playing polyrhythms? That's because they mix it with 16th note and they smooth it out.
So.... you can play a completely clean tempo.. just like you can make a completely clean frequency with your voice.... and your voice always has some multiple garbage frequencies if you are not trained...... so does the beats and grooves.
Yay! It's all good.
One advice. Everybody talked about some stuff that music is played by mind not theory. Mind thinks. Some parts of mind thinks mathematically.
There are so many theoretical garbages out there don't try to learn everything, just learn most basic things and get the heck out of there!
Tempo, Beat theory(and some Groove)
