I can see that almost everyone posting here has a different understanding of the situation except Lazor. I'll try to make it more straightforward...

You can start singing Selos with a drum equipped. After the song starts you can remove your drum and equip whatever you want and you'll still run at Selos drum speed until you restart the song. Even if it runs for 5 hours and you only equip a drum for the first pulse it will be drum modified the entire time.

I understood you perfectly when I said exactly the same thinger:

"Have the instrument equipped on initial cast completion = mod will last full duration of the spell no matter what you have equipped or switch to another song. This will continue on passively, as well."

It's when you say that the mod should be checked every pulse that I do not agree with. This would completely kill the juggling mechanic that has always been classic.

Basically, I agree with Uthgaard. Mod should be checked when cast, not the remaining pulses unless otherwise recast actively or passively. If it checked every pulse, there would be no juggling.
