All of them really. I've played in a few blues bands and one time we lost our drummer for a gig. I was the bass player,, Armed with my trusty Roland 505 and 3 patterns. A 6/8 stormy Monday belly grinder, A 4/4 rock shuffle used at all tempos and 80% of the material, and then a few straight Rock 4/4 songs. We did the night. It made us realize how narrow the spectrum of beats we were using was :)
But the blues/ rock shuffle was probably used from 110 all the way up to 180
Example, Kansas City is I think 130. Right in the middle. Bring it on Home I think is 110. Johnny B goode 180
