Assignment #14

I guess for this topic i could talk about how i ordered Axis pedals for my drum set. I am pretty damn excited for these since I've been playing some crappy pedals i got off ebay for $100 for almost 3 years... these are a huge step up from those POS. Unlike my old ones, these are longboards and have a direct drive. For those of you who have no knowledge of this, normal pedals have a pedal that ends with a small, flat board at the end for heel support. Axis longboards are just one long pedal with no board at the bottom which is ideal for the heel-toe technique. Also, the Axis pedals have a direct drive instead of a chain drive like most other pedals do. This in turn results as super quick and smooth response with no lag at all. Smooth as silk! These pedals are probably the lightest and cleanest pedals out there. Many metal drummers,such as George Kollias, are known for being endorsed by them because of that. Normally these pedals go for 600 bucks, give or take. But being the cheap polish man i am, i found a sweet deal for only 300 bucks off ebay! Hopefully ebay wont screw me over on these... otherwise I'm gonna be super pissed. But if anything, ill put them back on ebay and invest in brand new ones. There is only one way to find out if i made the right choice, but for now all i can do is wait. Once they come in and they actually work like they are supposed to, ill be melting every ones face off with my 250 bpm double bass. And of course, with triggers so i can get that machine gun sound!
