Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a few pics of a Ludwig Vistalite kit I picked up before Christmas for $25. Yes, that's right $25. Just shows that there are still some unbelievable deals out there. The sizes are 13, 14, 16, 24. When I got the kit it was completely disasembled with a seperate box of hardware. To my surprise almost all of the hardware was there. I had to scrounge some rims and tension rods to get it up and running. I polished the shells using Novus 2 which did an amazing job. The only cons to the kit is a large crack in the 14 which had been previously repaired and 4 extra holes drilled into the bass drum for a different tom mount. There are a couple of minor cracks which I plan to repair with Weld On 4. I set the toms up using snare stands so as to not stress the acrylic any further. I think it turned out pretty good and will make a great players kit. I have been searching for a blue Vistalite for some time. Good things come to those who wait.
#1 is the before picture with the box of hardware inside the bass drum.
