  • @LUCELAN at the way you were speaking it doesent loked like a joke -.-'

  • Comment removed

  • @LUCELAN haha xD your so goddamn stupid, don't you talk about being a moron..

  • @LUCELAN holy shit are you retarded. axis does not make a pedal that is opposite. all the pedals are the same. get some education on the pedals before you go insulting people over the internet

  • @WEMODZOMBIES Hahaha hell yeah dude finnaly somone tells it how it is haha!

  • @LUCELAN I fail to see how this makes him a moron..it works doesn't it? :]

  • @LUCELAN look at the pedals when you buy a pair dipshit...

  • te büdöslábu köcsg

  • GAY GAY GAY! i broke my bass with sound percussion!

  • these are the axis AL ?

  • what a rubbish video

  • He only has two toes on his right foot :o beast drummer is beast.

  • "THAT IS THE HARDEST YOU CAN HIT WITH ANY PEDAL" WRONG YOU SHIT CUNT.

  • Sorry bro but I literally just switched from Axis X to Trick Pro1 V and the Tricks definitely hit harder. My roommates concurred. They also feel lighter. I know - sounds ridiculous - but unless my endurance magically increased by about two thirds at the same moment I'm working less hard. In fairness they are bigfoots and the Axis weren't.

  • They do NOT have as mouch power, as the dw 5000.

    But you can swich the beaters. After that you have more power.

    All direct-drive pedals havn't very mouch power.

  • They do NOT have as mouch power, as the dw 5000.

    All direct-drive pedals havn't very mouch power.

  • Who ever says these pedals don't hit hard NEVER played with them. My friend has these on his set and his kicks sound like fucking cannons.

  • i use pearl eliminator demon drive, because these have more features and are better produced. and on thomann are more negative comments at the axis pedals. i like pearl

    but axis is good too (especially for very extreme drummers like INGESTED.. that's badass, not like this fag joe jordison)

  • there's no life in the way you "tune" your batter. Sure it's just preference for everybody but might as well be hitting a piece of cardboard!

  • uhmmm not trying to be an ass but wouldnt they all sound the same according to how the person kicks it wouldnt it be the same if u kick one hard and the other hard the same amount of power is going into it...

  • i´m yet to see a pedal that has power on its own...

    i guess it´s all up to us....

    " it´s not the weapon, its the warrior..."

  • it's over 9000 !

  • i just got these yesterday and i love the feel. but at the moment they have no power which i'm trying to figure out how to get out of them

  • @porshcarra21 Changing the beaters is a must.

  • @andy15m374l I didnt like the Sonic Beater at all. Havent tried the Ball Beater, it looks rly comfortable though.

  • silly noobs, Axis pedals adjust to how ever you need them to play.

  • u kill the "power" by the way your playing the pedals..

  • @munkeefork69

    Seriously? Jazz?

    Do you know what jazz is?

    He makes speed look effortless because like all the others in his touring circle, it is all he is obsessed with.

  • If you are going to make a Youtube video showing your feet hitting the bass pedals, please wear socks. Sick as fuck

  • So gross get some sucks.

  • @jovany69 I love getting them. Feels good.

  • @jovany69 man learn how to spell

  • Do you people understand the point??

    Whatever pedals you have, axis (which i have used and don't like... my opinion), tricks, pearls, tamas...WHATEVER... it isn't the pedals that make the player.. fuck the pedals...

    You know why i don't like axis pedals, yeah sure they are fine as a single, but with a double.. (for all you dumb shits living for axis pedals) grab the two beater posts and give them a wiggle... Notice that? It is called shit universal joints, creating weakness on the slave pedal.

  • I realise there's some difference between pedals but surely how hard they hit depends on how hard you hit them???

  • @170adamb That is pretty much the point of this video. At the time some years ago people were going on and on about how they're weak etc. and really they're just pedals. No one argues about which bicycle has the most power do they? These pedals really benefit from picking out beaters with the appropriate mass that you enjoy slamming into your kick.

  • @andy15m374l lol us drummers get far to concerned about the nuts and bolts of our "art form" we should spend more time playing our instruments than worrying about which make of pedals are the best, though I openly admit i'm as guilty of this as the next man

  • Nothing better than a Ludwig speed king...the end.

  • @ludwig12344321 *SQUEAK* *SQUEAK*  *SQUEAK*

  • @andy15m374l  best part of zepplin on vinyl

  • @andy15m374l They do squeak dont they!

  • @andy15m374l I owned the same 2 speed kings for 30 years now and never had a "squeak".

    But I know what you mean, It's called neglect,

  • @ludwig12344321 lol You work for Ludwig I guess.

  • @ludwig12344321 oooohhh yes!!i beleive that too!!

  • are those bass drums tuned at different tones? they sound abit off.

  • My pdp hit harder than these junk scrap

  • chris adler uses  Trick pro v-1 bigfoot pedal not axis. Derek Roddy and George Kollias plays Axis L-2 just for sure.

  • chris adler is using them too and i think he has musical taste ^^

  • Chris Adler uses Axis pedals.

    O ya they are weak as fuck for sure T_T

    Dumbasses.

  • @plugit21 sorry bro but he switched to the Trick Pro 1-V a couple years ago

  • @aheaddrummerkid

    But still, he was a big endorser when he had them. Also, check out freedrumlessons, video about double bass techniques (the 51:00 one). The guy on the left with the purple bass drum used axis longboard double pedals.

    They also did a double pedal review/comparison, and it ranked up there with the DW 9000.

    But Chris Adler still used them, even if he currently doesn't. Pro drummers like that don't use shitty equipment. Fact that he changed means nothing.

  • @rizzdrums4life Yes, you are wrong. Lots of really great drummers use them. Gavin Harrison being my favorite. 

  • @andy15m374l Chris Adler !!! : D

  • @andy15m374l James Cassells of Asking Alexandria uses the Axis Lasers and he's one of my biggest influences.

  • @andy15m374l Actually, he uses the Tama Speed Cobra now

  • @andy15m374l dont forget chris alder

  • @rizzdrums4life im guessing your a Pearl enthusiast or a die hard DW guy. either way i do have to disagree with you on multiple things. 1. Other people's taste in music vary a lot because everyone's different, so it's really impossible to say anyones got horrible taste in music because well, they listen to they want to hear. So to them, they have good taste. 2. Axis are actually very powerful if you have them set up right and are playing them like a longboard, not a shortboard. It is different.

  • @guitar77809

    nah not a die hard anything guy, i just like quality parts that last and that do what they need to do.

  • @rizzdrums4life

    umm......

    george kollias

    derek roddy

    and much much more

  • @rizzdrums4life chris adler uses them

  • @metalheaddrummer123 No, Chris Adler uses Trick pedals. Those are very similar. I know because he said that in an interview.

  • @marc825 ohh ok, my bad. i forgot he just started using Trick on the latest album.

  • @rizzdrums4life Oh! losers without musical taste use them! man, i better go return those to...OH WAIT! There's countless adjustments you can make to give you more power? Ohhhh Stupid me! :D

  • @rizzdrums4life Its funny, "Oh i dont have musical tastes, so i going to buy Axis pedals"

  • @rizzdrums4life Tim Yeung shits on anything you've ever accomplished, EVER!

  • @munkeefork69

    really does he?

    what just because he spends all day running around with a drumometer trying to hit as many times as possible...

    get a life, where's the musicality in his playing?

  • @rizzdrums4life have you even looked into the skill of his playing? The guy is fucking beast not only is he jazz influenced but he also plays very well! The guy is a natural and makes drumming look effortless.

  • @rizzdrums4life, grow up. there are many things i could say to you to make you look like the dumbass that you are, but think of this...

    1: if he likes speed metal, so what? He can like whatever he wants.

    2: He is jazz influenced. As is Derek Roddy and George Kollias, both AMAZING drummers. So, please stop being a retard and respect good drummers.

  • @rizzdrums4life OR MAYBE GEORG KOLLIAS? DEREK RODY?

  • @rizzdrums4life okay you dumbfuck, why would a person with these pedals have bad musical taste? your an idiot. stay in your corner. be ashamed.

  • @rizzdrums4life So George Kollias is a loser?

  • @rizzdrums4life and also, dickhead, which pedals you use isn't about musical taste. retard.

  • I listen to Machine Head, etc. My hobbies are kick pedals and XBOX 360. PS - Kill me.

  • Chris Adler uses these. WIN

  • @DETHKLOKization As a matter of fact, he uses Trick pedals now.

  • thats bullshit tama speedcobra pretty much beat the shit out of this pedals and they have a heavy sound even though they have a small beating head... mike portnoy uses them if anyone wanna lisent to the sound of them or the speed they can reach.. :-D

  • Axis pedals are the shit.

  • SERIOUSLY!!! watch the video crefully, he leads with his left foot b/c it's louder than the right pedal. They are hard to play on. Listen to the few solo R foot notes played. Admit it dude, I did when I returned mine and took a $150 loss but I own better pedals now and am happier.

  • @darrenzimm I didn't lead with any foot. I just randomly hit the pedals some. If you were using the stock beaters I can see why you didn't like them. They have been great pedals for me. And also I don't need to "admit" anything. I am not an endorser of any product.

  • @andy15m374l I'm not the best at speaking my mind. It sounds like the L pedal hits harder and with less effort. So I meant you did a roll and went L R L R. I dont know what else say about this, it's your own kit, and there is no right or wrong way.

  • @darrenzimm axis! the best petal! it might be the bass drum tuning !

  • I'll keep it short: I get louder notes from a chain drive pedal. I bought Axis and use them for 3 years before going back to DW 5000 Chains. It's harder to play soft notes with direct drive. Axis are built nice but not my style and the longboard is just awkward.

  • I hears the "A" and "X" on the pedal can cut you are barefoot,is it true?

  • @OKAY546 I used to play barefoot and nothing but barefoot and I never got cut.

  • He's recording on a camera. I'm sure they don't sound that bad. Hopefully if u can afford axis pedals then u should at least have descent heads. Haters

  • dude no offence but i have never seen any bass drum sound so bad :(

  • @crazyowner99 The mic was a pinhole in the front of the cheap camera. The voice doesn't even sound like me.

  • @crazyowner99 you can see a base drum sound?!?! i thought you had to hear it

  • @crazyowner99 you should have listen to mine before i tuned it :P OMG now THATS the worst bass drum xD

    

  • @crazyowner99 - he did it rigth. I think you are not a drumer...

  • How did you get the felt on the beaters

  • @jordion96 Those are iron cobra beaters. They come with your choice of felt, rubber and wood....maybe plastic too I can't remember.

  • beat them cakes!

  • Hey, do you know if these would be good with a size 15 foot, cause i aint able to do shit on my pedals

  • @TourettesUnicorn Any pedal will do. Very little surface area is needed to play. If you are asking about heel toe though... no. My foot is way too big to do heel toe and my feet are not a size 15. I could put the drive between my toes like a flip flop and my heel still won't be in a working spot.

  • @andy15m374l You don't need small feet to be able to do heel toe. I can do it on my pedals and I've just got an ordinary pedal. The technique actually doesn't involve hitting the pedal with your heel, it's the motion of falling back onto your heel. Whether you have size 5 feet or size 15 feet it doesn't matter in the slightest.

  • @TourettesUnicorn same here, i have size 15 too :/

  • @DELTAFORCEADC dont it suck, you have to spend like $50 on one pair of shoes , and you cant be awesome and do heel toe :/

  • @TourettesUnicorn i just do it bare foot, it works, but i still wish i had smaller feer

  • Take shox please x)

  • is having a double bass drum more accurate than having a double pedal...?

    

  • @igart19 i don't think it makes that much difference, depending on the pedals u go with. thast just my opinion tho

  • May i please get your email or something? do you give lessons?

  • Is it really recommandable getting double bass pedals? i really want some, but still, i just bought a kit with single bass. And i am new to drumming. Want to play in the hard-rock/metal genre.

  • @ZePerfectionist It's something that you should definitely get into, but not necessarily right now. There are plenty of things to learn before expanding to double bass. You should probably learn to play a good many things and get comfortable with the instrument and then add it in.

  • @andy15m374l agree when i started playing i got a pearl ref with 2 bass drums was cool and all but i lost alot and had to focas on learning how to use my hi hats correct and this slowed me down and also you will have to change between you double bass and hi hats and this is hard to do if your not comfortable with you left leg or right if your left handed

  • @ZePerfectionist he's rite, you should learn single bass first before you work your other foot in because i know some people, that cant play single bass at all because of jumping rite away into double

  • "it's really, really loud" <-----NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!

  • in my opinion the strike form these axis pedals is weaker than from for example the Gibraltar intruder pedal which has a bigger and heavier head.

  • @ejnarm3 You can put any beaters on it. There are a lot of choices like the Tama ones I use, Danmar etc.

  • dood, u have REALY thin feet. like it almost seemed like u wer missing ties on ur right foot o.O

  • I never understood why people use two bass drums. They're never going to be tuned the same, therefore your bass sound is always going to be horrible. Plus, you're wasting tons of money on a completely unneeded drum. The entire idea is just stupid to me.

  • @blueburnsred the positioning helps it work alot easier , plus double kick pedals tend to move alot as you play

  • @blueburnsred FYI, back in the '60's & 70's through most of the '80's and into into the early '90's there was no such thing as a "double pedal". This was the 'sensible' alternative. There's pros and cons to using a double bass set up, tuning is a con, but power and volume is definitely a pro. However, with devices like drum dials and notched or "fixed" drum keys, tuning is much easier.

  • @blueburnsred two bass drums is nice when playing faster double bass...if mic'ed for a live performance or in the studio it can reduce a lot of muddy noise...since the drum head continues to vibrate between kicks it makes extra noise...two bass drums makes the kicks more distinct and clear...but not necessary if you aren't very fast...and if you're playing them fast enough the tuning isn't going to be very noticeable to the human ear

  • @gotM3T4L Hm. I suppose it's just a personal preference. I just know that it would drive me crazy to have my double bass to sound way different like the kid in the video. His are horribly different.

  • im sorry but ut some socks on ... please?

  • I just spent $1200 on an axis doublepedal and it's money well spent. axis are ridiculously easy to get both speed and power from. thanks for posting this

  • I think its because this guy has danvars , and danvars increase the power of the sound ALOT

  • @noconflictbanana Those are Iron Cobra felt beaters, not danvars. I'm pretty sure of that at least.

  • @godofnature5

    No , a danmar is that white thing that he pasted on the bass drum to make the sound louder. Not the beater

  • hah stupid asshole ;)

  • @bukaibes He's not just stupid asshole! He's stupid asshole with axis pedals ;)

  • so i see you have the A model but i was thinking about getting the X's. iv played both but very quickly and didn't have time to mess with the drive lever. the a's cost quite a bit more (used x's are 300 and a's are about 500 on craigslist in my area) so i want to know if in your option its worth 5 or 6 more months with my beat to hell falling apart iron cobras until i can get the money for the A's or if the x's are good. I think i want them, i just want a second option.thank you so much!

  • One questions I always had:

    I notice that some drummers flip there foot pedals hammer so that the cushion is not hitting the drum head and the plastic hard part of the hammer is hitting the head.

    Does this increase the ease to kick faster? and Is it used to have a different kick tone?

    I'm sure it's some combination of both.

  • @ReasonableRam That's a good way to break your heads, not because of the harder material, but because of the shape. Good kick drum heads are nearly invincible, but that will do them in. If you want a more intense sound try the Iron Cobra beaters with different materials like wood and and rubber.

  • @andy15m374l

    Yea that's what I've always thought too. Though I've seen it don't on many occasions. Very strange.

  • @andy15m374l Yeah i broke 3 or 4 bass heads doing that before i smartened up lool

  • @andy15m374l most beaters are two way beaters actually. tht means they design it so u can use both sides. the felt side has a softer sound, its not as punchy. the plasic side has a really crisp punchy sound. its just like sticks. if u evr use sticks with like felt tips, it sounds way different compared to wood sticks

  • @ReasonableRam you may have seen a beater with a padded side and a plastic side that u can swivel around. 

  • @ReasonableRam some pedals have a plastic side that is the same shape as the felt side so you can use the plastic side for more attack

  • @ReasonableRam better rebound.

  • Where did you get those shoes?

  • My axis pedals broke so i went with Demon Drives and Demon Drives feel so much nicer

  • @forter24 bad comment

    

  • @forter24 yeah bad sound if you are use to triggers or only play dw drums that your parents got you........ If you have problems with the axis pedals....and if your not a person that likes to argue or make a big deal, good luck trying to get the Axis Company to help you because that is what you have to do.

  • i liked pov drumming (:

  • Hahaha I like how the camera is shaking ^^

  • @huck787 The camera wasn't shaking, that just happens when I play. Time and space become unstable and start to collapse.

  • @forter24

    bad feet

  • you sound like mark morton, dude, nice!

  • @forter24 Yeah. Pinhole camera mic. I never knew anyone would ever watch this video haha.

  • It's all about the weight/length of the beater and the length of the board. period.

  • do they break easy?

  • @xXAlecXxC No. The sonic hammer beaters are a mess. Once you do away with those the rest of the pedal will last years and years.

  • @andy15m374l Any type of beater will do instead of the sonic ones?

  • YOUR FOOT SMELLS

  • I got some old axis pedals (not longboards) on craigslist for 200. The owner said he had them for about 6 years and there still prime. Only a couple of the bearings are worn out but they still shred.

  • @toyotadrummer You can send them to the factory and pay to have them refurbished last time I checked. That's where they change all the bearings and then you're good to go for another decade.

  • @wildanS

    Actually i had two bass drums and all the second one did was get in my way so i went bak to single with a double bass pedal and that seems to work better

  • Im not Buying 1 more FUCKING THING FROM AXIS, MY AXIS PEDALS ARE BROKEN!!!!!

  • thanks for moving everything out of the way :)

  • so if i was gonna get some new pedals should i get these?
