so, i met a guy playing the house gig at a bar last weekend. we start talking drums and me being an acrylic guy i brought up the subject. he replied he had an old red vista set in parts. this weekend he pulls in with them in the back of his truck and gave them to me flat out for doing lights. very cool of him. only problem i have now is that neither of us know exactly what they are for sure. they were sold to him as ludwigs over 30 years ago. only thing i have found close was a lime green set i was looking at on ebay a couple weeks ago. but they have different mounts/spurs/tone controls than mine do. the shells are really thin and have a reinforcement strip at the seam like the newer ludwig vistas. the hoops are stamped tiawan. ive seen the spurs and lugs before but cant remember where. im hoping you guys can help me out here...lime green ebay drums:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=140751203089&si=z05FL8gDDKQrlp3HN27z0lLqMC8%253D&viewitem=&orig_cvip=true&rt=ncas you can see these are a bit different but do have similarity.

nice. thanks for the info. any knowledge of about what year they were made.. or if they ever made matching snares? the one i got with it is a slinerland.
