You are correct CP. Bass pedal is an all encompassing term for the pedal/beater that is used to play the bass drum of the kit. The term "Longboard" indicates that the bass pedal has a longer than normal "pedal."
Came in right after xsaber - Nice pics and explanation!

Thanks guys!! Are these easier to play, or just a little faster....
i havent played on the longboards, but ive played on the axis bass pedal.
it was nice, but would take some getting used too. at this point i wouldnt trade it for my 9000's
I played an Axis longboard double pedal today, the direct drive is quite alien because Im used to a chain drive. But my god, I played faster with them in about half an hour than I ever have with my current pedal.
Now im determined to get two Axis A longboards, one for each bass
everyones pretty much just nailed it
Mapex Drums | Zildjian and Meinl Cymbals | Evans Drumheads | Pro Mark Drum Sticks
Don't buy until you try.
Seriously, they ARE pretty different to chain drives. And as Derek Roddy says "a fast drummer will be able to play fast on any pedals". It's not the pedal that makes a drummer fast. Sure, they can be a lot more responsive though so you can play to your full potential. But the skills are from the drummer, not the pedals.

+ 1 on all the replies on the longboard. I just learned something on it.
