The Ludwig Vistalite 3-Piece Fab shell pack brings you the iconic, visually stunning acrylic drums that have been the industry standard since 1972. Ludwig's limited-edition 2024 Color of the Year purple shells make a bold visual statement on stage. Made in the USA, the 6 mm Vistalite shells feature precision 45-degree bearing edges that are sanded to perfect smoothness for clean, resonant tone. The drums include Ludwig's iconic large classic lugs, Blue/Olive badges, 2.3 mm triple-flange hoops and timeless tom mounts and bass drum spurs. Outfitted with classic Silver Dot batter heads based on the original 1970s design, the Vistalite Fab pack accentuates the drums' inherent crisp, balanced tonality and great dynamic range.

Make Your Mark With Ludwig's 2024 Color of the Year

The stunning purple shells of the Vistalite Fab pack will make your presence known behind the kit. As Ludwig's limited 2024 Color of the Year, this eye-catching purple hue is sure to turn heads before it returns to the vaults. The glossy acrylic shells magnify the rich purple tones, creating a visual treat under stage lighting. With the Fab pack's rack tom, floor tom and bass drum all featuring the exclusive purple shells, your whole kit will share in the magic.

Reinforced Seams Optimize Acrylic Shell Resonance

The secret behind the Vistalite shells' full-bodied tone lies in their reinforced seams. Strategic reinforcement optimizes resonance by keeping the 6mm acrylic shell walls vibrating as a single unified component. You'll hear the difference in the Vistalite's singing sustain and balanced attack. The shells' transparency gives them their distinctive crystalline visual appeal, while their construction gives them legendary Ludwig tone.

Precision Bearing Edges Keep Tuning Smooth and Toms Ringing

Ludwig meticulously machines the Vistalite shells with 45-degree bearing edges, then hand sands them to perfection. The resulting mirror-smooth surface allows the silver dot batter heads to seat uniformly all the way around for optimal resonance and a wide tuning range. Your rack tom will sing with clarity, while the floor tom booms with thunderous low end when tuned down. Keeping the drums in tune through dynamic playing is effortless.

Silver Dot Heads Enhance Crisp, Balanced Tone

The Vistalite Fab shell pack comes with Ludwig's famous Silver Dot batter heads, designed to bring out the drums' inherent qualities. Based on the original 1970s Silver Dot specifications, the heads lend the perfect snap and "stick" sound that Vistalite drums are loved for. The Silver Dot heads also boost the acrylic shells' clear, clean tonality across the frequency range. Whether you're playing rock, funk or jazz, you'll appreciate how the Silver Dot heads make your playing on the Vistalite kit sing.

The Vistalite Fab configuration gives you a versatile three-piece acrylic drum set for gigs and recording.
