You could try threatening suicide. See how that goes over. Logical appeals have failed so you should probably employ something emotional at this point.
You're a Hypothetical child abuser!Oh theyre doin great. Hypothetical Tom seems to be having a hard time with his studies, but nothing a few hypothetical lashings with the hypothetical belt cant hypothetically fix. Its all hypothetical though.

I've been playing over 35 years. I could buy any pedal that exist. I play a modest priced Iron Cobra! I have tried numerous pedals including the Axis. It didn't make me a better player! So I didn't buy it!
It would be a waste of money for me to buy such an expensive pedal. Getting a few more BPMs wont make you a better drummer. For $600 you could buy two or three excellent cymbals, or perhaps a great snare! That is something that makes you sound better and inspires you to play better.
Pedal playing is mostly technique! Any decent quality pedal will go fast if it is played correctly. You don't have to spend a lot to play fast.
I would like to add that I bought my Cobra used. I buy used whenever I can. Same with cymbals. I always look for used gear, and I wait for a good price.
Im not sure that I want to go there! LOL!Just what is it about Britt's and abuse of the backside? It can't all be Monty Python.

Double bass pedals have very limited applications in all but a few genres; mostly, other musicians tend to find them disruptive when played. If I were you, I'd get a DW5000 single pedal used on eBay for $75 and invest the rest in lessons.
I think you guys are being hypercricitcal of the hypothetical parents, perhaps the hypothetical child is hyperkinetic or has hyperthyroidism -- a hypodermic of Thorazine all around should get us back on track
I like your reasoning... that was a very techincal explanation of how kick pedals work... but... as some others here have said... gear doesn't make the drummer.i have a crappy PDP double bass pedal, and i want an upgrade.
Save your money; get yourself a decent used single pedal (DW5000, Iron Cobra, a good Yamaha or Gibraltar) and get that right foot going. Don't be one of those try-hard, overcompensating fugga-dugga kids. If you can't rock out heavy of fast enough with one foot then you don't know what you're doing. Check out Corrosion Of Conformity's record In The Arms Of God and take a long hard listen to the tubs. While you're at it, anything with Jean Paul Gaster (Clutch, Bakerton Group, King Hobo, Five Horse Johnson's The Mystery Spot), Bill Ward's work with Sabbath and, naturally, JHB. All playing singles and on 26" drums. Now go...
