Post Vintage Ludwig Vista Lites' 
Finally, I've gotten his mid-1970's era Vista Lite set together. They are the "Clear Acrylics" with a light tube' affixed to the snare drum. Sizes 13" Rack tom, 16" Floor, 14" x 5 1/2" Supraphonic Snare (w/48 wire snares) and 22" BD. All parts are original.

I've used the kit on 3 gigs now and it sounds massive and warm!!

if you could some how buy light triggers for that and have each drum light up when you hit it that would be insane to watch, nice kit.

The lights are just those plyable plastic tubes you get at the hardware store. They are 18" long, but you can connect as many as you want.

It fits in between the lug screw and the shell. You have to take the head of the fit it in there.

Actually, the photo looks cooler than it does in reality. The camera captured the entire drum "filing up with light", but in person the light just circles the top rim of the drum.
Still, it's perfect for Vista's.

On one gig, I put balloon's in the floor tom and bass drum, which bounced all around as I played. It was pretty fun. I'm working my way up to the Keith Moon "Goldfish in the Floor Tom" trick!!
