Pros

The stunning looks ensure that you will be the centre of attention for a change. Custom options with unique visual and sonic impact.

Cons

Despite being loud, the Vistalite has a quite specialist sound.

The bottom line

While the Bonham reissue is aimed at a particular niche, it's evident from the range of colours and sizes that Ludwig is serious about reaching a wider audience. The Vistalite kit is loud, hard and penetrating, which will appeal to many drummers.
