uh...200 bmp = 50 whole notes in 4/4 time. 50 x 16 = 800 kicks per minute. for the record most sarcomancy songs are about 140 with me playing 8th note triplets so it's the equivelent of playing 210 bpm blasts/double bass in 16th notes http://www.extremesportdrumming.com/wfdrank.php?event=2
i know i have played up to 240. = 960

the metronome i own tops out @ 212. i have to set it at 120 and double time it. fuck i wish i could actually practice once in a while.

So your reasoning is based on assuming that the pulse is going to get a 1/4 note value.. and that there will be 4 of them in every measure. And While that would make sense if we were just talking about a specific song, that is not what the conversation earlier in this thread was about. It was about the use of triggers, and the need for them at certain speeds.. And when talking about how fast someone is playing, you would refer to what the metronome is set on, and what subdivision of that you're playing.

In other words, your example wouldn't then be referred to as playing at 200bpms and doing 16th notes, it would be playing 200bpms and playing 1/4 notes.
(remember, part of the statement i was arguing with here was: "you don't need to state the BPMs, because when talking about metal, it's assumed that the songs are at 200bpms" -arrowhead)
So you would either state your example as 1/4notes at 200bpms, or 16th notes at 50bpms.. and while they add up to the same amount of clicks per minute, one of them is in 1/4ths, and one is 16ths..

which further backs up my point of needing to say the BPMs when referring to 1/4th, 1/8th, 1/16ths, etc, because if you DON'T say the bpms, then those subdivisions mean nothing. So thank you for further making my point.
