Founded in 1990, AXiS Pedal & Drum Co. (formerly Axis Percussion) is an American drum hardware manufacturer headquartered in San Francisco, California, with manufacturing facilities in Wisconsin and the Bay Area. The company specializes in precision bass drum pedals built from aircraft-grade aluminum and steel, featuring a signature direct-drive mechanism and adjustable CAM system that allows drummers to fine-tune the feel and response of their pedals. Their product lineup includes Longboard, Shortboard, and Wideboard pedal models, as well as triggers, beaters, and accessories. The Longboard series is particularly distinctive, featuring straight flat foot plates with no heel plates — a design that has become iconic in the fast-footwork drumming community.
AXiS pedals have earned a strong following among extreme metal and progressive drummers who demand speed and precision. The brand's artist roster includes Derek Roddy (Serpents Rise), Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy), Steve Asheim (Deicide), Tim Yeung (I Am Morbid), Spencer Prewett (Archspire), Mike Smith (Suffocation), Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg (Mayhem), Trey Williams (Dying Fetus), and Austin Archey (Lorna Shore). Tim Waterson, a world record holder for fastest drummer, is also an endorser. Beyond metal, AXiS pedals are used by Bryan Hitt (REO Speedwagon), Martin Lopez (Soen, formerly Opeth), Richie Ramone (Ramones), Gina Schock (The Go-Go's), Alan White (Yes), and session legend John JR Robinson.
