Selling our vintage 1970s Ludwig Vistalite kit. Proper big Vistalite setup with a 24" kick and four toms. Floor tom legs and double tom mount included.


Sizes are:


24" bass drum

13x9 rack tom

14x10 rack tom

16x16 floor tom

18x16 floor tom


Overall it’s in really good condition for a kit of this age. There are no cracks and the seams are excellent. The only thing worth noting is that the 16" floor tom has had the top and bottom of the seam strengthened with small acrylic blocks at some point (a common technique). It’s solid and has never caused any issues, but obviously I want to be completely 'transparent' about it.


One of the floor tom leg mounts has also had its wingnut replaced with a non standard one (I believe it's Ludwig and period correct though).


It’s a nearly 50-year-old acrylic kit so there are marks and signs of use throughout, and I wouldn’t describe it as a collector/museum piece. That said, it presents really well and has clearly been looked after.


More importantly, it sounds amazing. Huge, lively and punchy, with the 24" kick and 18" floor tom doing exactly what you’d want a big Vistalite kit to do. We’ve used it extensively for recording and it sounds ridiculous in a good room.


Only selling because I have far too many kits and I’m rotating a few things in and out of the studio.
