There is a app for iphone or Android called liveBPM. A lot of bands use it. I usually have if going when we play. Very useful tool. We also use it in rehearsal to identify dips or spikes in the tempo over the course of a set.
We generally try to play between 110 and 120 depending on the set and how it matches up to the dance. Higher for squares, around 128. As a caller I will sometimes ask for a tempo range that works well wih a particular dance. Most of you are probably familiar with liveBPM. It’s been around a while.
