Core Thesis
The comparison matters because tempo stability tells you how the pulse sits. Rhythmic density tells you how much is happening inside that pulse and how physically persuasive the result is.
Where the signals diverge
Tempo stability tells you how the pulse sits. Rhythmic density tells you how much is happening inside that pulse and how physically persuasive the result is.
What to read first
Read tempo first when the record feels mispaced. Read rhythmic density first when the BPM seems right but the body still is not convinced.
How to read them together
Together they explain why one 124 BPM record feels effortless and another feels crowded or inert.
