Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This pedal is fast! Be aware that it takes some getting used to because you almost do not feel it under your foot. For heel down players this is the perfect pedal, and heel up players will quickly come to appreciate the response and light touch this pedal has.
Since I play jazz and acoustic, I replaced the hard rubber beater that comes with this pedal with the Slug Percussion Power Head Jazz Pro Titanium Beater (ASIN: B0002F5G2A). While pricey, this beater makes the Axis even faster. There is another less expensive beater for jazz players, Speed Ball's felt beater (ASIN: B0002F4M02) that is as good (in my opinion) as the Slug Percussion model. For louder music, or for players who bury the beater into the head I recommend getting the Axis Sonic Hammer (ASIN: B0002F7IBM), which will give you all the attack you could want. This beater was designed for the Axis A model, but will work with the X as well. Also consider the Slug Percussion Power Head beater (ASIN: B0002F5G16).
This pedal is easy to adjust, and a dream to play. It's also easy nto upgrade this to a double pedal by purchasing two pedals and the Axis double pedal conversion kit. Interestingly, you can mix and match X and A models, long and short boards with the conversion kit.
Be aware, though, that there is a definite love/hate relationship between drummers and this pedal. I've met rock, jazz and blues drummers who swear by this pedal, and I've met drummers from those same genres who hate it. I personally love it, but recommend that you actually try it at a local store before you buy one.
