The Ultimate DriveShaft has proven its benefits as an upgrade for other pedals or along with the Darwins for years. What not many know is that constantly maintain and try to improve the tiny little things on my products in order to create the ultimate tools without compromises.

This current version for Axis pedals has a true hex connection to the pedal along with the possibility to rotate the connection piece independently from the delta-extensions of the DriveShaft in order to adjust the slave footboard height (common problem with older Axis pedals)

- CNC machined high quality aluminium parts

- 8 strong ball bearings for a smooth transition of force

- Pure symmetrical double bass performance

- Steplessly adjustable DriveShaft length

- Length 42-62cm (16 1/2" - 24 1/2") 

- specific version for Axis

n+1 Beaters will be back in stock in about 2-3 weeks (pre orders are welcome)

The n+1 Beater shares many similarities with the Dynamic Beater which has been proven to work great for various setups. Besides the optic, the main difference is the position of the locking screw that also allows to slide the beater head back and forward. Mainly to adjust the distance and to remain an ideal 90° beater shaft when the beater hits the drumhead. This setup option can be very beneficial when there's no hoop clamp adjustment offered on the pedal. The optional weight (pre-mounted) is hidden behind the beater surface and can be removed without any additional tools.  The n+1 beater is compatible with all optional beater discs.

Quick-release system for ON Trigger (all generations)

Attached to a tray, the trigger unit slides into the base unit which is attached to the pedal's base plate by a single screw. A locking mechanism provides a secure fit.

The footprint of this system is identical to the bare ON Trigger. So this system can be used with any pedal that is compatible with ON Trigger. The base unit requires a 4mm mounting hole in the base plate of your pedal. Darwins and Darwin FTW pedals provide matching holes but you may need to drill one on other pedals (drill not included).

- allows to use on pair of triggers on multiple pedals

- works with Darwins and any other pedal
- allows to remove the trigger for transportation

- Gen 3 Triggers can be attached using screws

- older generations can be attached with using double sided tape 

- set for two trigger units or one double pedal
- incl. screws and tools.

The Spring Preload Upgrade for all Trick pedals is a simple and effective solution to gain more spring tension within the standard compression spring construction. Especially if your preferred setup uses narrow beater, maximal tension is often not enough and thicker springs have a tendency to break. In combination with the new Bias Rod Upgrade (especially R1 & R2 Version, see below) this upgrade has proven to work absolutely charming and harmonic.

- Fits all Trick pedals (Pro 1-V, Bigfoot, Dominator)
- CNC machined high quality aluminum parts
- Set of 3 different preload-cylinder

- Set for one single pedal. In order to convert a double pedal, two sets are required!

Trick Pro 1-V Spring Preload Upgrade by ACD 

IN STOCK  (Standard, R1)
R2 version will be back in stock in about 2-3 weeks (pre orders are welcome)

This upgrade has its origin in many requests I have received over a longer period of time. People have experienced that the standard aluminum bias rod can develop a notch on its running surface caused by the ball bearing running and pivoting over the same spot for a longer period of time. This notch can cause a clicking noise in an early stage and, if developed even deeper, it also becomes easy palpable and distracting when playing the pedal. This Bias Rod Upgrade is machined from solid stainless steel offering a hard and permanent smooth running surface for the ball bearing.

The standard version features a straight bias rod and a flat running surface, identical to the stock geometry. R1 & R2 Versions feature a curved running surface that stretches the usually rapidly gain of spring tension during the beater rotation (which can result in a spongy feeling) for a more natural and "tension spring-like" feeling.

If you prefer having a tight spring tension, please consider also checking out the new "Spring Preload Upgrade" (see above) which is an easy and effective solution to gain some extra tension.

3 geometry options:

Standard:

This version features the standard geometry with a flat running surface. This option will give you the standard feeling with an improved and smooth running surface

R1:

This version features a slightly curved running surface that stretches spring reaction (prevent the usual rapidly "spongy" increasing spring tension trick pedals are known for) for a smoother and more harmonic feeling. On top, it offers the ability to play the pedal with a larger beater angle in combination with a more natural feeling pedal.

R2:

This version has a more curved running surface for an even more natural feeling (this version comes even closer to a regular tension spring assembly used by the majority of pedal developers) 

- Fits all Trick pedals (Pro 1-V, Bigfoot, Dominator)

- CNC machined high quality stainless steel parts

- Set includes a matching pre-assembled ball bearing and tools to swap out the bias rod

- Set for one single pedal. In order to convert a double pedal, two sets are required!
