To say you don't see this every day would be an understatement. Lots of rare factors going on with this one. Ludwig didn't sell as many White Vistalite Shells as they had hoped, and in their effort to use everything wrapped leftover shells in chrome to make them move. Someone painted the interior black, so it is hard to tell that it is white Vistalite. The drum is also in the ever desirable and elusive 14x14 size, which became very rare in the hard rock large drum 70' days. It was also custom ordered with long "Mach lugs". At some point someone added a clip mount to he side of the drum ,so 2x extra holes there. The drum is drilled for mufflers top and bottom, but they are missing. Features all Ludwig hardware except for the legs. Correct hoops & tension rods though. Two hairline cracks were discovered, but repaired. The chrome has been cleaned on the drum, so the hardware is mostly very good, with some pitting on the leg mounts. The chrome finish does show it's age with some scratching and pitting, some subtle seam lift, and two spots where there is a subtle warp/crease line in the chrome plated wrap.

This is THE place for vintage drums, fantastic service, and a great community. I've never felt more welcome and at home in a music store than I do here. Keep doing what you are doing!”
