Yes, the Axis A and the X series pedals are very good,these are sturdy and reliable pedals. I played the Axis A-Double Basspedal for about 5 years.I never liked chain or strapdrive so I used Axis pedals, mainly due to their direct drive linkage. There are not many direct drive pedals on the market. The Axis is one of the few and up to now has been the best of its kind. But things have changed. Now there is Pearls Demon Drive pedal. The Pearl is far superior to the Axis. I sold my Axis doublepedal in order to get Pearls Demon Drive.

I have spent quite a few years playing drums in many different situations and have owned or used a significant number different brands of pedal. Chain Drive, Belt Drive, Double-Chain, they all have slightly different feel but ultimately are very similar. The Axis pedals are different. They move very smoothly and lack the "wiggle" and "clatter" found in most other types of pedal. The fulcrum will never stretch or distort, so the first time you put a foot to it will feel exactly the same as the last.

The aircraft grade aluminum makes for a very solid feel and a piece of equipment that readily stands up to the abuse of regular gigging. The action is precise, and rebound is consistent and reliable.

Bottom Line: If you want a high-quality pedal that will last the rest of your life, get an Axis.
