Flawless Tribute to Bonzo’s Vistalite
Paying ultimate homage to the late legendary Led Zeppelin timekeeper John Bonham, this Vistalite bass drum from Ludwig harnesses the pinnacle of Bonzo’s enormous drum tone with exacting precision. Bearing an oversized shell of 100% acrylic for that massive percussive impact, the Vistalite bass drum strikes with incomparable attack, powerful projection, and an extremely round, resonant response, just the way Bonzo drummed it up. Familiars of the group’s 1976 concert film, The Song Remains the Same, will know exactly what we’re talking about! Meanwhile, the bass drum's large classic lugs hold down the hardware selection with robustness, wide-open sound, and undeniable style. So, whether you’re looking to show off your Zeppelin chops in the shadows or take the stage and embark on half-hour-long drum solos (or some happy medium between the two), this Vistalite bass drum is ready to “Rock and Roll” when you are.

High-impact Vistalite acrylic
The Vistalite series name is as legendary as the gargantuan sound of its acrylic composition, both of which owe much of their iconic status to the talents of John Bonham. With a 100% acrylic shell, this bass 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 bass drum — only perfect complements would do! Most notable are its hoops and lugs. Fitted with wood bass drum 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. Sweetwater drummers also find it’s highly flexible in terms of tuning. Fittingly adorned with Ludwig’s streamlined Classic lugs, the Vistalite bass drum makes sure to look the part while anchoring down your intonation. Go ahead — unleash your inner Zeppelin!
