A cheap Lute with 2.0 does the exact same damage as a Lute of the Gypsy Princess, that has 2.1, 100% bonus and a 110% bonus, no difference. That was said by Gieuge on another bard thread, so I'm curious if anyone has ever tested a Bard with speed song + Selo's Drum vs MM Drums.

I'm curious, because even by the low-mid levels, if these are actual differences they should start appearing in DOTs and such, IE you'd get more damage out of a lute with 2.1 than you would with the stock 2.0 lute, even if it's just 1 or 2 extra damage for the extra 10%.

Do the MM Drums give less resistance for Elemental Rhythms than the Selo's?

Yes, the modifiers work, but due to roundoff you sometimes don't see the full effects of them at lower levels.
