JR Robinson is one of the most distinguished drummers in modern history. JR is recognized as the most-recorded drummer in history with 30 No. 1 all-time hit records and 10,000 recording sessions for albums, movies, and TV soundtracks. His signature 'JR Groove' has played a part in over 60 Grammy-winning records, 200 Billboard Hot 100 songs, and more than half a billion units sold. Rolling Stone Magazine named JR one of "The Top 100 Drummers of All Time."
JR's association with AXiS pedals began in 1990 and his insights were key to the early development of the original AXiS Drum Pedal. For over 30 years, his "goto" pedal has been the AXiS shortboard with a skinny footboard. We are very proud to honor JR Robinson with his AXiS signature pedal! JR's Artist Series Pedal pays tribute to his long career and understanding of what a pedal should do for a working musician.
The JR Robinson Artist Series Pedals are Silver AXiS Skinny Shortboard Pedals configured with an A-CAM and MicroTune Spring Tensioner®. These pedals have a carbon fiber footboard with JR's new logo hand-painted in Axis Red. They also feature a unique beater, designed in cooperation with JR. The square head beater, featuring rounded edges, is sized and weighted for an ideal balance of responsiveness and power. It delivers a big punch when needed while remaining sensitive enough for any situation.
JR is the only AXiS Artist with a Signature Beater - a fitting addition for a true drumming legend.
