Don't take the tempo that displays in the tempo-window too serious. 
MIDI time clocks is no exact science. It is actually not a tempo that 
is transmitted, but ticks when the sequencer should advance. There 
are six such ticks for each led in the MD in normal 1x mode. The 
Machinedrum locks dead tight on these, but the tempo displayed is 
calculated from the time from one tick to another, and the exact time 
for these may vary a little, which can be seens as the tempo 
drifting. But the timing can be very tight anyway.

Hope you can follow my explanation. :) The bottom line is - don't 
panic if the tempo seems to vary some tenth parts of a bpm up and 
down.
