Ludwig Drum Set Studio Max 3D model

The Ludwig Drum Company are famous for their Vistalite drum kits. Vistalite was the trade name used by Ludwig for its line of acrylic (mostly see-through) drums in the 1970s. Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham famously played a Vistalite. While Vistalite sales declined toward the end of the 1970s, Ludwig reintroduced them in 2001. Sales of clear Vistalite and Bonham-replica amber Vistalites have been strong enough that a multitude of companies make acrylic drums in 2006.

Ludwig saw a lot of changes. In the 1980s they introduced a new heavy duty modular hardware system. They abandoned the much-loved modular system in favor of a less expensive L-arm/double braced industry standard hardware system. Ludwig maintained a reputation for exceptional sounding and projecting maple drums into the 2000s.
