Ludwig Drums - Ludwig John Bonham Amber Vistalite Drum Set
Ludwig's Amber Vista-Lite Drum Outfit has certainly hit the hot button when it comes to retro drums that are just right for the markets of the new Millennium. The Ludwig Amber Vista-Lite outfit is styled in a similar fashion to the Ludwig outfit as historically played by John Bonham from Led Zeppelin back in the early 1970's.
Zep Set
The Ludwig Amber Vista-Lite Zep Set Drums feature a 14x26 bass drum with vintage styled T-rods, vintage claws, curved retractable spurs, and gold sparkle inlays on the high gloss black finished maple hoops. The double floor tom set includes a 16x18 and 16x16, just like you would expect. The 10x14 rack tom is suspended with a snare stand like Bonzo would have positioned, and the snare drum is the Ludwig traditional LM402 - 6.5x14 aluminum chrome plated Supra-Phonic model.
The Zep Set can be ordered as a shell pack or with a full compliment of Ludwig Modular double brace hardware, including:
Ludwig's 900 Series snare stand
2 straight cymbal stands
boom cymbal stand
Pro-Float LM918HH Hi-Hat Stand
LM815FPR Pro Foot Pedal
L201 Speed King Pedal
A matching Amber Vista-Lite 6.5x14 snare drum are also available. All the heads are durable Heavy Clear for intense playing and a great see-thru appearance. Drums are also fitted with the vintage 70's blue & olive badges and 70's era large Classic Lugs.
Jason Bonham Signature Model
While preparing for the Zeppelin Reunion in 2007, Jason Bonham requested a kit, with his own personal imprint that would carry on the legendary spirit of his father's playing forward. The result was the inspiration behind Jason's Limited Edition Signature kit. A true Ludwig first, this yellow Vistalite in John Bonham's own Zep set configuration features black powder-coated hardware and fittings on all drums, for a truly unique look. To further authenticate these limited-number production kits, Jason personally signed each drum head, emblazoned with the iconic imagery from his father's first masterpiece.
