1974/75 Green Ludwig Vistalite Big Beat

This is the catalogued set up as far as I can tell. All came together. One owner. I "restored" which really just meant non-abrasive cleaning and NOVUS polish. Beautiful kit.

EDIT: The correct hi hat stand was added (it came with a Slingerland "Smoothie" stand) with the help of forum member Gerald Sterkin. Thanks again Jerry!

Beautiful!! Takes me way back. My first instructor had a double-bass kit in that color.

Awesome. Nice job.
