I've never played it, but I have the music, so I pulled up the video and followed along (and now I want to learn it :-P ). It doesn't sound excessively fast to me, but I'm not an adjudicator, so my opinion doesn't count for much. In a context of personal practice or public performance, I don't think Dave's tempo is out of line; go for it. But if you're getting it from multiple sources that it's too fast, and you're going to be judged on how you play, then perhaps you should take uieuph's advice into consideration.
