1972 Vistalite floor tom legs Last viewed: 16 hours ago

Posts: 188 Threads: 15

Hey guys!

Just bought a 72 Vistalite Clear 22 13 and 14x14 floor tom in Kona Hawaii for some music videos my band is shooting first week of march.

Only problem is the floor tom is missing its legs and I need to purchase some this week in time to take them with me to Hawaii.

are they all pretty much universal one size fits all?

found these on eBay

LUDWIG FLOOR TOM LEGS

Each measures about 22 1/2" Long

Knurled section is about 9" long

Would these work?

Thanks so much!

Nope, and you should ask how old they are before buying. Modern Ludwig floor tom legs are a thicker/heavier guage than the old ones and will not fit into 60's/70's Ludwig leg mounts. If they are the older, thinner legs, go for it.

Too many great drums to list here!

9.5 mm (3/8") should do the trick..

Cheers ...

You could also purchase three of these new Ludwig P1785A floor tom legs and save some money in the process in addition to knowing that they will fit. http://www.interstatemusic.com/34059-Ludwig-P1785A-Classic-9-5mm-23-And-quot-Floor-Tom-Leg-Only-w-Tip-sold-each-P1785A.aspx

3 legs at $12.58 each and free shipping = $37.74

One floor tom leg and rubber tip only is part number P1785A.

There is also the set of 3 legs AND clamp brackets that is part number LC5023TL, but I believe you are looking for the legs only.

If you want the original 17 inch length legs you would have to purchase used or find NOS as I believe those are no longer being manufactured.

There are also other non-Ludwig brands that would work. For instance Pearl's LG07 leg set can be had for $18-$20 and I believe are 9.5mm (3/8"). I've used them on my vistas without a problem.
