What I am saying is 130 would be a tempo to aim for with ALL techniques, keeping in mind you might want to push it TOWARDS 150. This translates neatly into 13-15 strokes/second, but now it is independent of specifying what the notes-to-beats relationship is. 13-15 strokes/s = 130-150 bpm for pimami sextuplets, one per click. (a 10 multiplier, since 60/6 = 10) 13-15 strokes/s = 195-225 bpm if four notes per click, as how picado speeds are often quoted. (a 15 multiplier, since 60/4 = 15) 13-15 strokes/s = 156-180 bpm for piami tremolo. one piami per click. (a 12 multiplier, since 60/5 = 12) 13-15 strokes/s = 195-225 bpm for pami tremolo, one pami per click.(a 15 multiplier) If these seem hopeless, I'd think reaching 12 strokes/s is an accomplishment in itself for all of these except for pimami sextuplet which just seems easier than the rest. I personally have a big difference between pimami and pamima arpeggio speeds - which I have been working to minimize. It started with a difference of about 35 clicks (pamima being slower); now it is more like a difference of 25 clicks - while both speeds have increased by about 40 clicks each. So, curiously, the difference persists, albeit smaller than before, but both speeds have shot up considerably. So for me, 130+ bpm arpeggio feels like a stretch goal in the same way as for the other techniques only if it is referring to pamima arpeggio; the pimaimi arpeggio is already there. BTW in all of the above, I was thinking about controlled, sustained (beyond a second or two/burst) speed of the respective technique. Otherwise speed comparisons become too weird.
