I am under an assumption that it is a simple interval for BPM. When I tried to tap tempo it, I got 125 (roughly) for a portion.

Unless the song was recorded free form, I would be very surprised to see a variance in BPM. The variances that you list above are small enough that I would count that as error for an auto tempo detect algorithm. (edit - or even variance from conversion to .mp3)

I'll try 126 and see how it rolls!

It probably doesn't matter in the end, I got a usable drum sound from the existing track with some judicious EQ and compression. The smeared snare sound is less prominent.

I'll wait for Robb's review of what I did so far.
