I think that one is Gibralter. I've seen several versions. The kit was kinda of a mess. Bad rewrap. Pearl mounts added. But, a cheap, good sounding vintage Gretsch! Nobody ever noticed on gigs........

20x14 kick, 14x14 FT and 12x8 rack tom.
I specifically wanted these sizes since it covers almost any gig/room. Small enough for bars & restaurants, big enough for larger venue if I can use mics.

This is my one and only drum set as a four piece. Peace and goodwill.

Hard to beat vintage Slingerlands for a gigging set. Great sound. Reasonably solid hardware. Wide tuning range. 24/13/16. Serious thump! Always a favorite for me!!

From yesterday. It was my first ever "blind gig". I met the guitarist and bassist at the venue for the first time..... then immediately played a 4-hour gig! I didn't know any of the songs so I just went off visual cues and intuition. It went great!
This is my 70s Ludwig Vistalite (Jelly Bean) kit.

Was this a beach gig?
I'm a guitar player/singer ( who digs drums) but I've done those 'blind gigs' too, where no one knows, or has played with each other before, but you just NAIL a great show!
(I will say we all usually know the songs, as I have emailed everyone 'my Songlist'
It's exhilarating, as you listen to the music coming out, in the moment, and folks are digging it!

No, it was at a high-end restaurant called Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin Texas, overlooking Lake Travis. The view was pretty great!
Thanks! He asked me to play there again this Saturday, so I must be doing something right!

I purchased this earlier this year in May . This is a 50th Anniversary Ludwig Vistalite kit 22/13/16 config. I have long admired Vistalite kits and never owned one . This is my first Vistalite kit .
It is such a unique sound compared to my wood shell and aluminum shell kits . I have been using it for outdoor gigs this past Summer . It projects really well .

Always wanted to try one of those. Had a couple come up local. Been doing a lot of low volume jazz, tho. Wrong choice of weapon for me currently.......

(guitar guy here)
Are Vistalites, by materials/design, a 'high-volume' efficient design, vs. warm? (or whatever you want to call it)
- are there Vistalite snare drums? Thanks!
