Axis A2 The Axis A2 Combines Touch and Power

Darrell Johnston has been kicking out some of the industry’s most renowned bass drum pedals since he founded Axis Percussion in 1990. World class drummers, and players of all skill levels, have been putting their foot down on Axis pedals ever since. The Axis A2 Double Pedal adds a slave side to the new Axis A single, and doubles the potential for punching out the beat.

Drummers will appreciate the total ball-bearing action that provides super smooth motion and heavy sound with a light touch, which is adjustable to your style of play. No other pedals go full ball-bearing, and the difference is notable. High-grade aircraft aluminum makes the unit ultra-light for fantastic control. The improved drive shaft linkage creates the quickest response in the industry, as Axis has proven in the World’s Fastest Drummer contest at NAMM four years running. The Axis A2 Double Pedal is built for right footers, but is quickly switched for lefties, or separated to make two singles.

Rock drummers will love the smooth speed of the Axis A2 double, especially speed metalists of the heavier kind. But this unit works equally well for up-tempo Jazz and Latin beats. Drummers reviewing this newer product appreciate the ability to make the adjustments to the pedal that make it “just right” for them. Initially, it plays lighter than some desire, but firming up the response solves that. The roster of drummers playing the Axis A2 reads like a “who’s who” of the greats. This top of the line pedal will let you maximize your potential with the skins.
