Vistalite Series

Jason Bonham Vistalite Set
While preparing for the Zeppelin Reunion in 2007, Jason Bonham requested a kit, with his own personal imprint, that would carry on the legendary spirit of his father's playing forward. The result was the inspiration behind Jason's Limited Edition Signature kit. A true Ludwig first, this yellow Vistalite in John Bonham's own Zep set configuration features black powder-coated hardware and fittings on all drums, for a truly unique look. To further authenticate these limited-number production kits, Jason personally signed each drum head, emblazoned with the iconic imagery from his father's first masterpiece.

There are many imitators but none compare to the original Ludwig Vistalite Plexiglas drums. Originally introduced in 1972, the tradition of outstanding sound projection and power along with the renowned see-through appeal transcends time.

Vistalite drums are available in 4 colors (see the custom set shown on the left): Amber (47), Blue (55), Yellow (56), and Clear (38). Piece together your own custom drum kit from the many differently sized components or put yourself behind one of two standard outfits.

Lay down the "Hammer of the Gods" sound on an Amber Zep Set, or make yourself visible behind the timeless "Big Beat" 5-piece set.

Vistalite drums feature the popular '70's vintage blue/olive badges. Component drums come standard with Mini-Classic lugs. Large Classic lugs are also available.
