there are a lot of ways to stay on time. here are some:
- Learn to count. Practicing counting and when you perform count verbally or mentally.
- Use a Metronome. Using a metronome is the best way to be in tempo. It may take time to get used to it but once you get the hang of it, it'll be very useful.
- Learn to count by heart. This sounds weird but through out my career I've personally met drummers and percussionists who count using their heart. Some say they use their heart beat as a metronome and some say they just learn to count by heart and they can sense if they are speeding up or slow down.
Even if you learn to count there will always be no "perfect beat" there are times that youll hit a bit too early or a bit too late, there are times that your volume would increase or decrease, but thats what makes it "human-like" the tiny imperfections on our beats and hits.

Who sets the tempo in a concert band?
The conductor is responsible to set the tempo, but the band has to take the responsibility to maintain the tempo. The percussion makes for a good metronome because of the monotonous, clear nature of the sounds produced. For example if the Tubas slow down, so does the band, if the Tubas speed up, so does the band. But one would think that as in an orchestra, where the concert master or lead first violin assists the conductor in setting the tempo, so it would also be with the concert band, where the first or lead clarinet performs exactly the same function.
