Precision Hi-Hat | Cymbal Stands | Snare Tri-pod | Vortex Basket, Tube, Swivel

Axis Percussion has done it again.

This time the Axis Percussion name is bringing new innovations to drum hardware that are unlike anything else in the industry with the addition of the NEW VORTEX Snare Drum Stand, and the new and improved VORTEX Performance and Precision HiHats.

The new “VORTEX” line of professional hardware is made for those drummers who are looking for a lightweight flexible solution for their setup and performance needs. All parts are machined of structural grade aircraft aluminum and steel for strength, stability and a great reduction in weight. High quality grade '8' fasteners are stronger and more seviceable than current industry standard rivets.

The shape and design of the leg assembly is not just for looks. The “cyclone” or “vortex” shape has a key advantage over the typical hardware design that is being produced by most of today's drum manufacturers. As the normal load forces (i.e. impact shock during playing) are applied, the stand absorbs the shock by coiling or twisting about its center axis. This “spring like” rotation gives the stand the appearance of twisting into the ground, creating added stability as opposed to the bouncing that occurs with traditional rigid braced legs. The twin cylindrical rubber feet on the end of each leg offers an increase in the floor contact area of the legs and reduces creeping.

AXIS XHH - PRECISION HI-HAT (AX-XHH)
The new AXIS XHH is a real high performance hi-hat. Now your hi-hat can finally play with the same precision and accuracy that is demanded from a 2nd bass drum pedal thanks to the new “precision-pull” roller bearing design. The AXIS XHH brings new meaning to the term “4-way coordination”.
Precise spring tension is easily attained through the use of the 6-way “Set and Forget” pedal tension adjustment. Now you can quickly change and remember the pedal tension that is needed for different musical styles. The AX-XHH is made of lightweight, yet tough, solid aluminum. The innovative new VORTEX leg design is both strong and durable. The leg assembly on the XHH was designed so that it can freely rotate into any position for easier double pedal placement, and it also has the ability to tilt in any direction with an optional brace accessory.

AXIS VST - VORTEX SNARE TRIPOD
(AX-VST)
There has never been another stand like this. The AXIS VST uses a low profile, replaceable “SNARE TRIPOD BASKET” that remains attached to the drum at all times. The basket has 3 telescoping rods with cylindrical nylon “Finger Pads” that securely grip the bottom hoop. (Finger Pads for die-cast and wood hoops are also available.) Additional baskets can be purchased to accommodate the drummers arsenal of snare drums. Because of the sleek design, the drum and basket assembly can fit into standard cases and bottom heads can be changed easily.
The drum and basket assembly has a quick disconnect hub that effortlessly drops onto the AXIS “Hemispherical Clamp” - a remarkably simple, yet powerful steel ball-swivel top. This elegant design allows the drum to rotate into perfect placement without the worry of slippage. All these time saving features are combined with the revolutionary new VORTEX leg design to make a truly lightweight professional snare drum stand.
