This group is a great find. Just what I was looking for. Here's the deal. I don't have a lot of bread to blow on exerimenting w/ different heads. We all know...
Has anyone tried Aquarian heads on thier vistas ? I was thinking of trying the classic clears or double thins.I have remo ambassadors on bottom with pinstripes...
I've owned my vistas for about 17 years, Jon, and in all that time, I've never been happy with the way they sound in the studio. I've tried many things. Of...
Not sure what kinda sound you are looking for, Greg, but I know that most aren't happy with pinstripes. I've used black dots exclusively on mine for many many...
I've recorded with my Vistas a few times. I think tuning is a big factor in getting the right sound in studio, and in live situations. I have a Ludwig Silver...
This is a great board, and a good discussion on heads/recording, I love to hear about what you guys have tried, what worked, etc. However, I still must insist...
Me too. I always use Remo CS on my top heads & Bass, and use Attack 1ply Medium on all my bottom heads. You can then get good control in tuning low or high....
I've also recorded with my vista's and I agree on the positioning of the bass drum mic. Also, here is something I've tried: place the bass drum mic only on...
Hi Jon, Like most others I have tried different heads. I used pinstripes for a while and recently started using Black Dots with Clear Ambassador resonant...
What's up all? Been awhile for me. I just finished watching an episode of Sanford and Son, where Fred, Bubba and LaMont appear on The Gong Show to sing a...
pinstripes sound AWESOME on the vista bass drums while YES i agree that there is no better head than a black dot on the toms ... especially on the concert toms...
Hi, I just got my Blue Vistalite kit (26", 14", 16" & 18") which I won of Ebay and I set it up yesterday. It looks really beautiful! One thing that I noticed ...
That seems very odd, Tobbe. I have the same floor toms and I always put black dots on them, not problem at all... although the fit may be slightly snug....
Vistalites have a reputation for having uneven bearing edges (the part of the shell that actually makes contact with the head). My 13" tom is like this and I...
Hello all, I am new around here. I am looking for a 6" or deeper Vistalite snare, preferably blue, or red, in nice shape. Anyone have any leads? LMK Thanks,...
Hi members! I have some sad news.... I got ripped off regarding my last purchase at ebay... I won an auction for a blue vistalite kit in 26", 14", 16" and 18"....
well you got a good deal anyway,, nice set for what you paid BUT STILL its not justified and it should not have listed that way... i was watching that auction...
That is really F'd up, man. There's nothing worse than a dishonest E-bayer. Be certain add some bad remarks to his profile!! Torbjorn Bovik <bovik@...>...
Yeah, I know it still is a good price, but I wouldn't have bid on it if I knew that it was a 24" kick instead of a 26".... The seller refuses to answer my...
This may have already been suggested, but have you contacted eBay? You can report this as fraud - eBay will step in and threaten the guy. I would most...
Go and leave a FOLLOW UP on the feedback you left for him, this will let future bidders know.. and yes report it to ebay FOR SURE. Don't just let him walk away...
I reported him to ebay...we'll just have to wait and see what they will do about it... Unfortunately I was a bit too quick giving him positive feedback before...
Hello Everyone: I was so happy to find this group today so I joined up. I look forward to meeting and chatting with anyone who wants to email me. I have been a...
Hey Check E-bay .That's were I found mine.I got real lucky on mine and got a great kit.I got a 24 in bass ,13 and 14 inch toms 16 inch and 18 inch floor tom...
Hi Vistaliters, my drum-set kindly asked me if I could find a 18" floor tom in smoke... so if there's anyone who onws such a piece... well, let's get in touch!...
I have been doing buss with Len at Classic Drums and I must tell you what a pleasure. Many people in this group have been saying great thing about Len and I...
Torbjorn, sorry to hear about your problems with the seller on ebay, some people are either crooks or clueless! If you can't find an original Ludwig blue BD...
