There's actually some pretty good deals on ebay for vintage Vistalite kits and single Vistalite drums if someone wanted to piece a kit together. I got my kick, rack and floor tom for $630, which included shipping.


My Niles, Ill Slingys came from ebay, and they're my go to kit now.

I got a vistalite jellybean kit (not pieced together: 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 24) with a vista snare, slip/slot mount tom stands, a set of 50's zildjian hats, and a 60's 20" ride all for $500 off craigslist. Score of a lifetime for me.


That's an incredible score chlorpromazine, even more incredible if the 13, 14, and 15 are not concert toms.


Agreed. How much are they charging for shipping?

I've had them for a couple years now. The toms are all double headed, no concert toms. Whoever played them had taken the bottom heads off, but they still had all the heads, hoops, and tension rods.

I just lucked out and picked them up locally from a Craigslist ad. They were from a church of all places. When I play them, I'm only using the kick, 14" tom and 18" floor tom. The rest of the drums are stacked away, and I thought about selling them until I realized how rare the kit was and verified the serials. It would be a sin to part them out.

I took these pics when I got them home. Check out the old silver dot batter heads:
