My dads ex drummer left a 5piece black smoke Ludwig vistalite (just like the floor tom) behind about 9 years ago. This kit was probably from the late 70s and I fixed it up and cleaned them all up last year, greatest drums I’ve ever played in my life. Vistalites really have this quality to them that make them so much louder than your average maple drums

I have a set of 1970s Ludwig Vistalite.drums which includes: a 10”, 12”, 13”, 14”, 15”, & 16” concert toms as well as a 22” X “16 bass drum. I purchased the kit for $75 from a junk shop. It is in rather rough shape being that most of the drum shells are split at the seems & the rims are all rusty. Additionally, the drums are all in need of a good cleaning. After all said repairs are made, I plan on possibly using rims mounts on the rack toms, converting the 15 inch and 16 inch toms to floor toms, & maybe converting the toms into regular double-headed toms. Since money and time have been an issue recently, the project has been temporarily shelved and the drums are in storage right now. For drumheads, I plan to use Remo CS Clear Black dot heads. By the way, you’re right about Acrylic drum sets having a unique sound. My first drum kit was an old Fibes Crystalite with Ludwig mounting hardware on it. It was a 12” X 8” rack Tom, a 14” X 14” floor Tom, & a 18” X 16” bass drum. Remo Clear Pinstripe Heads on the top & Remo Clear Ambassadors on the bottom worked best on the toms. The only reason I got rid of that kit was because The bass drum was too small and I felt limited by it because I couldn’t expand the kit if I wanted to.

Your Hi hats look like they might be 15” A’s. They sound Great. Nice triplet fill towards the end, between the Phil Collins inspired licks. How would you compare working with the Vistas, compared to maple or wood shells? They are much warmer than people think. For my vistas, I have been mounting my 14” with the Pearl claw Tom mount/with a Pearl top hoop. Works very well, opens up the Tom sound by 20%, and is very easily placed/positioned around the kit.
