My Red and Clear swirl finally arrived after sending a fairly harsh letter to the seller. They apologized for the delay and chalked it up to moving. They also...
Hi Todd,<br>Excellent news. Looking forward to seeing a pic.<br>See there's a red/clear tom on ebay.<br>Mike could turn that into a couple of snares!<br>Glad...
Count me in guy's....however I hate to buy from DEALERS whom set the price rediculously high to start the auction. I prefer to watch them go down in...
I would assume so, the Ludwig home page (under "news") has them described with a price, and, I've seen a clear set go on Ebay not too long ago. Which didn't ...
I love my 77' blue visto's but I think I like the new Fibes better than the new visto's.Does anyone know how the price compares? They are both very cool ...
I am having a hard time finding someone to work on my Red and Clear Spiral. The kick has a 4 inch by 2 inch piece missing from the front edge. A clear piece...
This blue five piece Pro Beat vistalite kit is absolutely mint,like new. No scratches,scuffs,rust pits, nothing!The original owner ,who I bought them from,for...
Ok, I'm convinced. I've GOT to have an acrylic set. But which is the best? Ludwig or Zickos? Vintage or new? Didn't acrylic suck in the 70's (scratching, ...
I'm afraid it's a matter of preference. I personally like the aspect of antique collecting. So I own three Ludwig Vistalites. I believe they are the only one's...
Hi,<br>Gotta agree, personal preferance.<br>Vintage Zickos shells are thicker, but are usually clear, they have stainless fittings, but do not take too kindly...
hmmmmm....which zickos are you refering to? I have a pretty large set of clear vistalites. (i'm am usually logged on under "crazy_drummer666"} I love them. but...
Hi,<br>I was refering to a snare I have,('76 in the pics)<br>Its thicker than the ludwigs, but doesn't sound so good, as you cant crank it up.<br>Zickos maybe...
I haven't seen that one before. I do like the Area 51 kit "Starfire". What a cool finish, gotta wonder what it does under lights. I can feel my bank acct....
Hi,<br>"Starfire" is very cool, pics don't do it justice I dont think, pity you can't see thro it though.<br>The purple was a limited run. Its kind of opaque,...
Ahhhh... the snare. Wow, i wouldn't think you could go much thiker. I mean, i know you can, but that just seems strange. I know with wood shells that thinner...
Decided to treat myself to a gift for my 32nd B-Day. Went beyond Ludwigs and picked up a 3" DW Snare. A nice middleground between Vista and Piccalo. Has GREAT...
Whats the deal with 15" double headed toms? I saw a blue set on Ebay with a 12X15 blue double headed tom. Did they make these or could it be a concert tom with...
Hey there! Now, I may be wrong but, I think the older bigger concert toms had small lugs on them. So if someone converted a tom, like a 15", I think it would ...
You could pull off the bottom head and see if there is a bearing edge or not to tell whether it's a converted concert tom or not...........I think. Anyway good...
yes there are ways to check. i was just on ebay. there is a blue set with a mounted 15"....and two clear toms for sale, a 14" and a 15". the two are not ...
Hello everybody! My name is Russ. Todd H. told me about this club. I'm happy to know there are still a lot of drummers playing vistalites! I bought mine new in...
Hey there Russ - welcome to the club.<br><br>Let's not talk about JUST another tequila sunrise - they're great kits and one of the classic vistalite ...
I get nothing but compliments on the Tequila. I almost have my RED and Clear swirl up and running, as those of you whom enjoy ebay may have noticed...lol. MY ...
Hi,<br>My Tequila to, also takes plenty comments.Though I've not gigged it so much since getting the spiral.<br>Glad your getting there with the Spiral Kit,...
My terminology sucks at times. Thanks Allan for noticing...lol. I'm looking for 18" rims to complete the kit. I tried to by an 18" ludwig floor tom on ebay but...
Folks<br><br>I have just purchased the Jellybean kit from our old friend Allandwf. The guy is a gent and his collection is fantastic. A couple of questions for...
