How to NOT use a real bass drum pedal

[steull6163]

I want to play fast doubles on the bass drum but I find it "aesthetically unsightly" to use a bass drum pedal: I have no drums, I want no gear.
I asked myself: how can I "pretend" the rebound of the pedal just as we pretend the rebound of the drum head by tapping the stick end into the hand for double stroke rolls? So I got a spring from a sofa to get my foot back quickly

Interesting! Does it work as well as you were hoping? It feels like it might be hard to keep your foot balanced on the spring?

We have experimented with a marker attached to the Hansen Futz practice pedal which also has a large spring. It works well for the hi-hat pedal but doesn't feel quite right as a bass drum pedal.

If you have any video to share we would love to see it in action.
