I have to say, I really got a hell of a deal on this kit. I saw it on Craigslist for $300 and pounced. It's a clear blue vistalite, and I have to say, it sounds fantastic. I spent a few hours today scraping the rust/pitting off of the rims and lugs, then I bought all new heads for it and went to town.
All I need for the kit now is a bass drum leg. I have one, but can't find another one, it's the 3/8" sized square rod curved one.
Anyways, it's a 1976 Vistalite. It came with 2 9x13" toms, but one of them has a crack in it, so I'm just using the one. The guy also threw in a bunch of old ludwig hardware, two small Yamaha toms, and an old Ludwig snare. I can't tell what the snare is though. It's 8 lugs, seemingly steel (magnets stick to it), and is just plain chrome colored. I think it might just be a cheap student snare..., and he also threw in two (crappy) Nu-Vader cymbals, as well as a great set of late 70's 13" Zildjian Quick Beats.
