Members Zeromus-X Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 http://norfolk.craigslist.org/msg/1221941706.html Not sure if this is a good deal, but it seems cheap to me. I'm not in the market so I figured I'd share. Original issue, 5-piece, stands, "vintage" Paiste and Zildjian cymbals, original owner, $1200.

Members turdadactyl Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Decent deal with the stands/cymbals included. Personally I prefer the more exotic vistalites like the tivoli or pattern C's, but you would do well to snag this one if you had the cash (assuming no cracks).

Members Zeromus-X Posted June 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I've got the cash but I have no desire for them personally... no point of taking Vistalites to cheap bar gigs. If I could resell them for a profit I'd do it but it doesn't look like it'd get me much, and I'd rather see someone who is going to play it with them. Didn't know how much they usually sold for when it came to originals, so I figured I'd post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMR Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think that's a rip off. I have an acrylic sonor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funky54 Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm not a drummer but I love mine. Everybody who's sat behind it loves the tone. Great rock sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeromus-X Posted June 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 What's up with that bass drum?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members polarnewfie Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'd get a hoop for the front of that bass drum, or the unsupported side- coupled with toms mounted on top will add stress to the shell, and it could crack alot more easily. Just a hint, I've seen single headed acrylics that cracked , and having a hoop and head on the opposite side adds alot more structural strength.

Members soundcreation Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'd be more interested to know what the "vintage" paiste's and zildjians are.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 Get Topical Illusion, apply liberally, done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funky54 Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks for the tip, I wondered about that myself. I'll get a hoop. I have a lot of old symbols. I don't know much about them. I have had a few drummers drool over my little splash. Its not in the pic cause I moved a stand to move stuff and didn't put it back. Everything is old. I use to do repair work for a music store on the side and picked up lots of trade ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zeromus-X Posted June 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 Topical illusion. Haha! Holy {censored}, I stared at that picture for like five minutes before realizing that yeah, the way it's angled, it's almost a perfect illusion.

Members LilBastard Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 I almost bought a 4-piece set of Vistas back around 1997. I believe they were multi-colored but don't remember what colors specifically. It was a toss up between them and a 7-piece white Ludwig early 80s Rocker set, both around the same price. I asked a buddy of mine what he thought. He told me that the Vistas were a good choice if I wanted no resonance whatsoever. I went with the Rockers.

Members Thrustin Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 He told me that the Vistas were a good choice if I wanted no resonance whatsoever. Between this^ and the assholes on craigslist I think I might just lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMR Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 One thing I love about my vistalite is how loud it is but I hate the {censored}ty hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
