you are literally the best drummer i've ever seen. every time again i'm amazed when i hear you play the drums

[@maxlove5383]

30 years playing and practicing drums will do this... Practice brings you closer to perfection , as they say.

[@AnkothOfficial]

So... you could buy these footboards, and attach them to the magnetic pedals by Drumnetix that you demonstrated earlier on. And then you'd have super light and smooth pedals.

[@Kyle-gl9ej]

I'm guessing it only works with axis pedals

[@twinborn6028]

Please try this!

[@x8jason8x]

@@Kyle-gl9ej If one were determined, one could cut and bore the carbon fiber footplate to fit the pedal magnet and frame joints.... what a PITA that would be, but it could be done.

They look nice. I just picked up some Trick Dominator pedals and they are Great. Axis was the other choice but the price is what was the final choice for me. So in the end SEX

[@Kyle-gl9ej]

Aren't trick pedals more expensive?

[@FLYER388]

@@Kyle-gl9ej Axis double pedals are about a 1000.00 and up but the Trick Dominators go for 650.00

[@Kyle-gl9ej]

@@FLYER388 weird all the axis pedals I've seen sell for about 480 dollars for a brand new single pedal and the trick dominator is about 650.

[@FLYER388]

@@Kyle-gl9ej the Trick ones I got are a double pedal / or can be changed into two single pedals if I ever just want to have two bass drums I can separate them. So 650 for the double pedal from Trick compared to Axis are way more for the double pedals.

I've been playing the Dominators since 2019- it was my first direct drive big boy and has been a huge game changer. I've only messed around w friends Axis peds

[@factory]

Update on how long it takes to get delivered? And the function of this pedal after couple use. Looking at the Derek Roddy double pedal.

[@blackened940]

Still waiting. It's been about 2 months since I ordered them and I remember seeing that it could take up to 2 months for them to ship out so hopefully any day now.

[@themechaniacal1558]

It blows my mind every time you sit at the kit. You are THE best drummer hands down.

[@ChrisFromTheBlackLagoon]

I have been loving the Axis Long Boards ever since I bought my first set back in 2009. After watching this review I am definitely going to be saving up my money for the carbon fiber set. Axis is hands down the best drum pedal makers on the planet.

I haven’t gone to school, can’t see my friends, been isolated from everyone for over a year. You and Stevie t are my motivation for this past year and the present. Keep it up 👍

[@donnysarian]

I still have my first AXIS pedals from when the company first started many moons ago and I won't play any other pedal in the world ! Now I'm going to have to upgrade to the carbon fiber footboards !

[@cristocrazy5820]

sam you videos are awsome and i love them so much. they inspire me to continue playing drums and having fun. keep it up

Love that kick sound dude, awesome

[@gabrielgarcia8654]

I put in a purchase for some axis a lonboards but covid of course, it was 6 months later and still a no show. My favorite drum shop just gave me brand new dw machined chain drive double pedals for them taking to long so I got 1200 dollar pedals for the 700 dollars I paid for the axis and damn do I love everything about them so yea SEX!!!

I can totally tell your happy and satisfied with em hope you use them on more of your videos man OHHHHHHH YUUURRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@702ringo1]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. I also have been playing for about 30+ years. I’d love to have them but they’re way out of my price range but I’ll tell you what after watching this video I am green with envy. Keep up the good work you sound amazing.🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@mattvdh]

trick released the big foot low mass a while ago and has the dial for adjusting the spring tension. I've had dominators for about 10 years now and they are still awesome

[@zacsale383]

awesome concept. i do like the feel of pushing down on the pedal, it helps keep time. Having said that i have used axis pedals a small handful of times in my life. What i do does not require me to use these pedals But these pedals could be great for people wanting to reach those 240+ tempos. I would love to see what would happen with aluminium boards but carbon fibre beaters.

[@claysmell]

Glad to see the new the nuts on the heel hinge. That is the weakest link of the Axis pedal. Aside from the sonic hammers breaking.

[@beaugouin4383]

Soooo sick!!!! Happy birthday btw!!!

[@Bartman954]

Bit of a tip Sam. Use motorsport racing shoes for your pedals. Rob Bourdon from Linkin Park uses FIA grade shoes. (used in F1 and NASCAR) I used FIA kart grade Sparco's and it made the world of difference

[@kaynesantor8136]

Now they just need to combine the carbon fiber with the magnets, and maybe throw in a light saber. Ultimate blast murder. Sick.

[@zenchan332]

AMAZING MIRACLE

[@warleafclover9655]

I am a big fan of Axis. I hope the New Carbon fibers have one more thing on the aluminums. When loosening the beater assembly to slide over the Beater cam to hinder negative rebound;After doing so tightening back up and playing for a while would automatically come loose. I am sure that if doing so might just need lock tight after stock tightening is more machined tightened that counters slipping on the bolt itself.

[@TheUltim8Apocalypse]

Hell yeah dude! Finally got your pair! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@PSYCHOBABAYAGA]

Bro I been following for about a month and I must say your a beast when playing. Mad props on your drum skills💪🔥💪

I know you play Evans heads but currently using mesh heads, so I was wondering can you try out other drumheads like Attack drumheads, Aquarium Drumheads, and of course Remo Drumheads?

[@cederickforsberg5840]

Can they PLEASE make their double-pedals "equal distance" to the center? I hate the "one 100% center one on the edge of bass drum" design that many double pedal brands makes. Pearl Eliminator allows "equal distance" and there for has a more consistent sound between the beaters!

[@metalboy5150]

From what I'm seeing, that's the idea, you don't have to buy the whole pedal assembly, you can just buy the boards.

[@madmatt_81]

oh yuurrr, Look great 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@hhaste]

Those look incredible. I'd definitely own those, if I still played drums. If they're considering making new/other parts in carbon, it would be cool if they sold them as add-ons/upgrades if you've already purchased the carbon longboards. It's been a long time since I've played, I can't remember what's replaceable or all one piece but here's to hoping.

[@paulboutin7191]

I’m afraid to use anything but DW 9000. The Delta hinge is the ONLY hinge that doesn’t move side to side. The other issue is power…

For me personally, pedals can get to a point where they are just too light and flamboyant for a heavy hitter such as myself. Chain drives to me just have so much more feel and prescence, the speed cobras are my favorite pedals ever, but I can appriciate the utility of these pedals for extreme metal guys :)
