Ludwig Hits Big with Amber Vista-Lite Drums

Ludwig Hits Big with Amber Vista-Lite Drums


Ludwig

Posted 2004-06-21


Ludwig's Amber Vista-Lite Drum Outfit has certainly hit the hot button when it comes to retro drums that are just right for the markets of the new Millennium. The Ludwig Amber Vista-Lite outfit is styled in a similar fashion to the Ludwig outfit as historically played by John Bonham from Led Zeppelin back in the early 1970's.

According to Ludwig's Director of Marketing, Jim Catalano, "These drums sound big, powerful, and look great with their amber tinted see thru Plexiglas shells. They offer today's drummer a unique look of an earlier time in rock history, but with that same distinctive Ludwig tone and projection, that have made Ludwig Drum famous."

The Ludwig Amber Vista-Lite "Zep" Set Drums feature a 14x26" bass drum with vintage styled T-rods, vintage claws, curved retractable spurs, and gold sparkle inlays on the high gloss black finished maple hoops. The double floor tom set includes a 16x18" and 16x16", just like you would expect. The 10x14" rack tom is suspended with a snare stand like Bonzo would have positioned, and the snare drum is the Ludwig traditional

LM402 - 6.5x14" aluminum chrome plated Supra-Phonic model.

The "Zep" Set can be ordered as a shell pack or with a full compliment of Ludwig Modular double brace hardware, including Ludwig's 900 Series snare stand, (2) straight cymbal stands, (1) boom cymbal stand, Pro-Float LM918HH Hi-Hat Stand and the LM815FPR Pro Foot Pedal. As an option, the L201 Speed King Pedal and or a matching Amber Vista-Lite 6.5x14" snare drum are also available.

All the heads are durable Heavy Clear for intense playing and a great see-thru appearance. Drums are also fitted with the vintage 70's blue & olive badges and 70's era large Classic Lugs.

The complete kit with hardware is model number L8264LM47 and has a USA retail price of $4,495. The shell pack is model number LM8264LX47, with a USA retail price of $3,565.
