My suggestion as well. Or try 6/8 time and remember that you can also choose quarter note, eighth note, etc in any tempo. I had a session yesterday where the song was at 72BPM but the drummer wanted the click to be double that. I just changed to eighth note for the click.

Yes that is true but the click will accent on the 1 of 8. I was looking to see
if the click could accent as if you were counting aloud on the one of 3 but for 12.
like ONE-two-three TWO-two-three THREE-two-three FOUR-two-three
if that makes any sense.
All good suggestions though.

3/4 time and double the required tempo should do it nicely.
