My local music store has this blue/olive badge vistalite kit for sale, the sizes are 24" kick, 14x10", 16x16", and 16x18". It comes with an acrolite snare.
The drums were originally clear, but at some point somebody sprayed the interiors of the shells in red. it looks not too terrible but i'm wondering what kinda work it would take to remove this paint. the shells themselves dont look terrible.
i cant find any cracks in the shells, but it may just be hard to see with the red paint on there
The only flaw i can see with the shells is, for some reason, there is a yellow-ish epoxy-resin or something like that spread on the outside of the shells around and under one tom lug and one floortom leg bracket. again, i cant see a crack here but i'd imagine this is some attempt to repair a crack. this epoxy stuff chipped off with my fingernail in one spot.
the set also is gonna come with two orphan toms, one of them is a rogers Holiday shell, 9x13 i think, but its been stripped and sprayed red, and has unoriginal lugs with extra holes. the other tom is some "made in japan" Gretsch tom, its got some weird name on the badge, not blackhawk like the new ones, but basically its a piece of crap
they are asking 700 bucks for this kit, its got all decent heads and i think it comes with a couple cymbal stands and a snare stand.
does this sound fair considering the work needed to bring these back? i left my phone # and said call if you wanna make a deal, but i dont think i can pay 700
