Axis XL-2 Bass Drum Pedal Review

Axis XL-2 Go Double in a Big Way

Axis engineering begins with designs inspired by the drummers behind the equipment. Axis figures that if you use their gear, you get a say in the next generation of it. That approach has made them an industry leader for almost twenty years. The Axis X-L2 bass pedal is a double version of the popular Axis X-L, which gives you 2 more inches of length on the foot board. The result is greater drive with less effort, and the improved feel and control you’ve got to have from your pedal. The longer footboard also gives greater flexibility in how close you sit to the kit. Quality is everywhere you look, starting with the aircraft aluminum that gives super strength without the weight.

This longboard is finding its way into all genres of music, but those that require the most speed are reaping the greatest rewards. It’s great for speed metal and fast-paced punk, but has the versatility for any type. You can slow any pedal down. You can’t make them all go this fast. That’s the feedback from drummers.

Those using the Axis X-L2 are giving it high marks for speed and responsiveness. They are reporting that it takes a while to customize your set up initially, and that the springs are a challenge to adjust. Keep everything tight to avoid wear resulting from loose connections, and you should experience good longevity with this bass pedal.
