Axis Longboards A Single Drum Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have spent quite a few years playing drums in many different situations and have owned or used a significant number different brands of pedal. Chain Drive, Belt Drive, Double-Chain, they all have slightly different feel but ultimately are very similar. The Axis pedals are different. They move very smoothly and lack the "wiggle" and "clatter" found in most other types of pedal. The fulcrum will never stretch or distort, so the first time you put a foot to it will feel exactly the same as the last.
The aircraft grade aluminum makes for a very solid feel and a piece of equipment that readily stands up to the abuse of regular gigging. The action is precise, and rebound is consistent and reliable.
Bottom Line: If you want a high-quality pedal that will last the rest of your life, get an Axis.

Axis AL-2 Longboard Double Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being that these cost 600$, I agonized for weeks, studying and playing every double pedal set I could get my feet on....I played some very good pedals, but nothing compares to the fluidity and control that Axis pedals allow me. I absolutely love these pedals, and i will never look back. 600$ for a good reason, they're the only pedals you will ever use again.

Axis AAX-X Single Pedal Review

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.
