Axis X-L Longboard Single Drum Pedal  

I got one of these when they first came out and was incredibly disappointed. I will say that these are incredibly well made and would probably never in 100 years break. BUT, I have no idea how somebody could possibly like the way these things feel. You can kick down as hard as you can, and it'll still make a weak hit on the bass drum. The beaters that come with them are so light weight and tiny, they sound horrible on the head and will quickly wear through the because it's like a tiny little pin hitting your head over and over. Even if you put a real beater on it, it still doesn't have any power behind it when it hits. If you were playing very soft music all the time, I could see one of these being okay, but other than that, stay away. They're way over-priced too.

At first it was a little hard to get used to and get the tension just right but it is very light feeling and quick.

I play with this one at my church. I have to say, HOLY CRAP!!! This thing is smooth and very fast. Two thumbs way, way up! It's got a great price, too!

I own 2 long boards as well as 2 regular Axis's. There is a difference between the 2. If  you are a speed demon and looking for insane foot speed, then this is the perfect pedal. Great for you heel-toe & sliders. It's a solid well made pedal with a big foot board. I love it. Very light weight too. I don't use the sonic hammers on mine. I use a blue felt speed beater (ebay=$15.00) and get excellent action. Buy this pedal, you won't regret it.
