I have tried
Axis, D.W. 5000, and trick, Though I prefer trick, and that is what I am playing, I recommend
Pearl Eliminators over the snake tanks. The reason for that, I have met hundreds of drummers and lately I have frequently heard of ICs breaking. I have also witnessed some endorsers sneaking over to
Pearl pedals.
Art Cruz when I met him was using the Pro 1V beaters. And GWAR's drummer might be using
DW beaters on his double pedal, if I remember correctly.
