Members Bitter Dawn Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Those vitalites are just way too much, it's very overwhelming to the eyes. I like a subtle look, that's why I was thrilled to find an all black, glossy finish set. I'm not trying to be biased and saying DW is the best, but before I got my kit I looked through alot of catalogues and DW had the nicest finishes. and so on.

Members boxofrocks Posted July 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 yum.... I'd rock the {censored} out of those! Aren't those pretty, I don't think I've ever seen a finish like that before, the red to green fade sparkle is just freakin lovely. I like a little tackiness I guess, it makes for a fun show, something fun to look at from the audience. Like a skinny nerd drumming in a straw cowboy hat, they seem to like it for some reason... I will grant you the DW finishes though, they make some of the prettiest fades around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hwy145 Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I like those vistas, but I'm not a fan of the wire mess. Don't fades belong on Fenders and Gibsons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drumtechdad Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sparkle fades have to be the ugliest things I've ever seen. Buy 'em now: with any luck, they'll be popular for about 45 more minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cheeseadiddle Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 You don't buy that kit because of how it looks. You buy that kit because you are a collector, and Tivoli kits are rare as hell. Notice how many bids there are? His reserve is probably in the 3k range, maybe higher. And if he lists them enough, he'll get that and maybe more for them. A working, nice Tivoli kit comes up on ebay about once every couple years.

Members cheeseadiddle Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 And just as a base for reference of their rarity... They came out in '78 and were only produced for a year. I've never seen a figure of what percentage vista kits in '78 were Tivoli, but it wasn't like every 10th kit got the lights. Probably like every 100th kit or less.

Members sunspot Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Damn, being a herion addict is cheaper than being a drum collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cheeseadiddle Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 There was a Tivoli kit that went for around 5k if I remember right, about two years ago. It had a custom Tivoli controller that strobed the lights sensitive to drum hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
