Give Your Backbeats Bold Impact

The prominently voiced Vistalite snare drum from Ludwig represents the pinnacle of enormous drum tone and exacting articulate precision. Bearing a shell of 100% acrylic for that massive percussive impact, the Vistalite snare drum strikes with incomparable attack, powerful projection, and an extremely round, resonant response — a sound made famous by timekeeping legends of the past such as John Bonham and Keith Moon. This snare drum's 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops and Twin lugs hold down the hardware selection with hardiness, wide-open song, and undeniable style. Not to mention, those sharp Blue/Olive badges deliver utterly timeless charm! Shimmering with see-through aesthetics, this snare is guaranteed to look phenomenal everywhere the music leads you, from the comfort of the studio to the spotlight of the stage.

High-impact Vistalite acrylic

Since the early '70s, the Vistalite series name has become just as legendary as the gargantuan sound of its acrylic composition. With a 100% acrylic shell, this snare drum provides a percussive authority like no other drum on the market. With enough volume to cut through any mix, the round, boisterous song of the Vistalite is a match made in heaven for live performances. From smaller local gigs to large festival stages and beyond, the Vistalite will take care of business in the spotlight. With that said, its massive tone provides such exceptional depth and resonant character that Vistalite shells are equally enjoyable to record and jam with. Whatever your rhythmic motive, trust in Vistalite to deliver!

Classic shell hardware setup

Ludwig couldn’t let just any old shell hardware ornament the Vistalite snare drum — only perfect complements would do! Most notable are its hoops and lugs. Fitted with 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops on both batter and resonant sides, the round resonance of its shell is afforded enough sustain to properly sing the acrylic’s song with fullness. It’s also highly flexible in terms of tuning and will take it easy on your drumsticks, too. Fittingly adorned with Ludwig’s instantly recognizable Twin lugs and appointed with iconic Blue/Olive badging, the Vistalite snare drum makes sure to look the part while strongly anchoring down your intonation.

  • 100% acrylic shell that produces a powerful, resonant, and extremely projective tone
