How To Convert A Double Pedal AL-2 Axis Into 2 Single AL Axis Pedals

Another how to video by request from a friend and a fellow youtuber.

There was something I forgot to say at the end of the video. Your slave pedal (after conversion) shouldn't have the bass drum clamp on it. Your double pedal axis SHOULD come with another one...they give you an extra one because it's meant for this conversion. Once you get that clamp on your second pedal, let the double bass fly!

I tried posting a comment,but couldnt see it afterwards,so i apologise if this comes as a double post.

Im curious to know if it would bebetter on the wallet to either buy a double outright or 2 singles and the brige expansion.I currently have a single bass drum kit and im planning on upgrading to a double and wanted to save as much money as i could and wanted to know what the netter option.

By the way.Kudos on the vid.Very helpful

I think they're about the same price, I couldn't tell you exactly, but I think getting the double and changing it to two would be easier and probably cheaper

okay so check this out, i plan on buying an 8 piece sound percussion double bass drum set... so yeah it comes with two bases. i do plan on going with axis pedals... should i go with the axis double bass pedal so i can separate it and make two different pedals and if i ever want play on a single bass set which would be occasionally.. not rarely. or should i just buy two axis single pedals..? why?

[F990]

If you're definitely sure that you're going to use a single pedal later, you should get a double because converting a double into 2 singles is easy, and the two singles I tried with my double pedal felt exactly the same as the two singles that I bought. The double pedal should feel similar. the slave pedal (left pedal) may feel weird as with most double pedals slave pedals do

[TehBeatMasta]

@F990 is there away that i can buy two single axis pedals and then buy the shit later to make it a double bass pedal?? like the drive shaft and all that?

[F990]

indeed there is sir, you can buy the drive shaft and the double bass pedal conversion kit. YOU MUST buy both of those because the double bass pedal kit comes with parts you NEED to make the double pedal work. I'm sure you know what the drive shaft does.

@ExiledBandChannel isnt that weird? i came here to ask that too hahahaha

[ExiledBandChannel]

can you do that with iron cobras too?

[iMuTiLaTe]

I hate Axis so much, how can charge that much for twin pedals? yes I am aware of the fact they are manufactured in the U.S and made of aluminum so that ups the price but honestly like $600 for twin pedals? companies like that are the reason consumers turn to china and Taiwan for cheaper, $250 Iron Cobras, which are almost as good but less than half the price.

@Malice2297 You can't go wrong with Axis.

[Malice2297]

@darth420vader did they change it or something, its ben like forever since i first heard about them but when i did u couldnt switch em but thats kewl. but see my problem was that i wanted a double pedal that converts to single because i plan on gettin another kick drum. but at all the venues we play at they only have 1 kick mic so i wud have to use it as a double pedal at most shows. but i already got the axis. and i love em lol.

[Malice2297]

ok first of all it did. and secound of all when your using a dw 7000 that was accidently left in the rain after a show and is rusted to hell then ya it is a problem. and if you can do everything u say u can do on the axis on a gibralter and play as clean, quick , and just over all as well then your not playing shit as fast as i am then. i dont know you but u dont know me either so why the fuck you talking shit, especially because your probably 13 and you think you know everything. if not my bad

[arthurkitchen]

@Malice2297 If you have issues playing a dw7000, this pedal won't do anything for you. It is ALL about the player, NOT the equipment. I can take the most awful Gibralter pedal and do everything I can do on my Axis, and so can Roddy, George, etc. 

[darth420vader]

If you want to save money, single peddles will be $150-$300 less than a double peddle. The drive shaft alone is about $100+parts. @Malice2297 the Demon Drives do convert to single, and they are the only peddles other than Axis that convert in about 5 minutes. However converting a Demon Drive to single defeats the purpose, because they have been designed specifically to give you a single peddle feel on on kick drum.

what are the best axis pedals I know there are a few different pedals they have but they all look the same help please

[Malice2297]

very helpful video but if you could possibly redo the video with the camera not being right up on the pedals. its kinda hard to see. but anyways its still helpful. im gonna buy these pedals just savin up so damn expensive. they are worth it though. ive played on em and theres such a big difference. ive got a shitty dw 7000 double pedal and it sucks ball. i was almost thinking of the new pearl demon drive their pretty impressive too but they dont convert to singles.
