Just finished polishing up and assembled my blue vintage vistalite kit. I set this up in my attic which reaches extreme levels of heat and humidity in summers. I would hate the idea of my blue drums tinting toward green (yellowing with age) but they are plastic after all. Anyone know?

I have never seen vintage Vistalites discolor. They seem pretty stable, although I have seen some that the color faded from sunlight.
I have also seen color variations, which seem to be mis-matched sets of factory variations, rather than discoloration.
My kit:
Ludwig Vistalite Big Beat set consisting of:
14” X 22” bass, 16” X 16” floor tom, 8” X 12” ride tom, 9” X 13” ride tom, 5” X 14” snare
Ludwig 201 Speed King bass drum pedal
Ludwig 1124 Spur-lok hit-hat with Ludwig Standard Paiste 14” cymbals (760 & 770 gr) with ching-ring
Two Ludwig Standard S-270 cymbals stands
18” Zildjian crash cymbal (1550 gr) and 20” Zildjian ride cymbal (2130 gr) with CAMCO sizzler
Gibraltar motorcycle seat-style drum throne with backrest
