Vistalite drums were a passing 1970s fad, like pet rocks or disco. cf. answer to post further on. This thread may have to be re-routed soon to "Historical Junior Corps" with these posts from Dinos and Dino-noobies.

Best looking finish of the early to mid 70s, unless you count Bridgemen's yellow tiger striped drums from the first years of DCI.😀 I think it was '85 or '86 that SCV had the Champagne Sparkle Premier Reso's. Maybe they were pink sparkle. Whichever they were...they were freakin' gorgeous. God I loved those Premier drums. Then the HTS 484 came out with it's impossible tuning and dropped off the DCI radar. I still have my 484 from my last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I even fall under a dino although my girlfriend would disagree. But to come back to topic, I think it was Jeff who talked about the digital printing etc and he's right. You can do just about anything with the finishes now. They can add a little bit to the visual effect on the positive end or be completely distracting (*cough*2014bluedevils*cough*) on the other end.

With the weight of those drums it gives a whole new meaning to "Let's strap on the pigs!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesmr Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Cadets just posted a short video on FB that starts with a shot of a snare drummer playing a drum with a new (i.e. not 2018) finish. It goes by quick, but looks like a maroon sparkle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
