What BPM Is Dubstep?

Dubstep almost always sits around 140 BPM. Usually between 135 and 145.

Half-time

Dubstep is half-time: the snare hits on 3. That's why 140 feels like 70. Tap along to the snare and you'll get 70. Then hit ×2.

Trap and drill use the same trick. They also sit around 140 and feel half-time.
