Sound Pure's Take
Crisp, articulate, and eye-catching are just a few of the adjectives one can use to describe this vintage Vistalite from Ludwig. With just one strike, this drum sonically transports you to the era of stadium rock; big stags, big kits, big sounds. This drum's acrylic shell offers loads of projection and sensitivity, perfect for anyone looking for a big rock sound. The super-sensitive snare strainer system allows for easy centering and tension of the snare wires. The built-in Tone Control internal muffling system allows for as much or as little overtone as you wish.
This snare is in near-perfect physical condition, with only minor pitting of the chrome hardware. The acrylic shell has nary a scratch and provides a blue-tinted window into a deep world of tonal possibilities.
From Ludwig
High-volume live performance where projection over loud instruments is paramount. Hard Rock/Heavy Metal.
Notorious for their attack as they are for their stunning crystalline looks, Vistalite acrylic drums make a solid sonic and visual statement in live concert performance. Manufactured under strict guidelines to retain shell integrity, today's Vistalite delivers pure, round tone through a fully-stabilized shell and dual reinforced seams; without succumbing to the cracking that plagued the kits of yesterday.
