Opinions needed! Which one should I choose?

Posts: 263 Threads: 59

I offered up one of my Supras (a 90s Monroe) for trade, and I have two swap offers that are tempting.

Option number one is a 6x14 Zickos Acrylic - all original, very cool.

Option number two is a 5x14 Ludwig White Vistalite 8-lug - also very cool.

Which one would you guys choose?

I owned, played both....

Thé zicko is better made...(thicker shell /gaskets under thé lugs & better hoops)..

Sound is different...ludwig is louder i think..

Future Resale value of ludwig is stable.....Zicko...?

As for a trade...yes..either is good

Zickos for me.

Right now I'm leaning toward the Zickos drum because it's got the weird factor - I've never owned anything of the sort. I like the spaceship look - reminds me of a vintage Trixon or something.

On the other hand, I'm a Ludwig guy through and through - I'm a sucker for anything Ludwig. Plus from what I can gather, white vistalite is a little rare, and 8-lug vista snares are also a little rare... so 50 years down the road, the Ludwig will probably be a little more desirable - but I know nothing about Zickos, so...

I'm totally stuck.

Neither. I'd keep the Supra.

Gerald,

I've got other Supras. I've got a 60s COB and a 70s Alloy - I don't need this one. Might as well trade it for something different!

Zickos, with those Woody Woodpecker lugs are pretty sweet!!!

Some further info about the Zyck?? (manufacturing year, etc.?) Those lugs looks pretty well!!! I know nothing about this brand.....

But in the other hand you may have a 8 lugs pointy corner white vista...... Ufff tough election.

Allow me to ask you... If you put some extra bucks over the supra and get both candies for you??
