12-29-06: PrizMy dream.
After a 16 year leave of the drums (marriage, kids, work, etc) I built a
home office thats large enough to accomodate my new drums and
audio gear.
If only I had room to set up my 1978 Ludwig Blue Vistalite Big Beat kit!
Anybody play any musical instruments...........
Taught myself to play drums, mainly to Stevie Wonder, The Eagles, Cheap Trick, Big Country, and Rush. Later played professionally for about 10 years, including a couple of years with The Beat . My wife says this Brady Drum kit is in my future, but I think this forwarding address comes first. Well, maybe not quite on that scale, but somewhere in the general vicinity will do. |
Tvad. I hope you achieve your dream. From what I understand, the Vistalites are making a come back. I see other drum manufactures (Tama, Sonor, as well as Ludwig) marketing these sets. If you are not a subscriber, Id recommend getting Modern Drummer magazine. After picking up a few issues at a news stand, I finally subscribed. I think it helped me to get back into playing after seeing all the gear and great articles on so many great players. Good luck. Jim |
Priz, I actually got back into playing several years back by purchasing a set of Roland eDrums. They fit into my office. I bought Modern Drummer for about a year and actually practiced many of the exercises. Ultimately, I sold the Rolands. They sound great, but they're not the same thing as acoustics. The Vistalites are worth double their new price in 1978. Unbelievable. |
