A selection of new finishes for some of Ludwig’s most popular ranges of drums were announced at NAMM 2024, some of which are limited editions!

Vistalite in Purple

Ludwig’s legendary Vistalite series of drums has received a new addition to the range with the introduction of a snazzy purple. Vistalite are the transparent acrylic drums made famous by the likes of John Bonham. Looking like something from a candy store, these have always been eye-catching shells. Now we have a lovely purple example. This joins amber, blue yellow and clear versions.

Aside from looking cool, these acrylic shells sound amazing. I mean, if Bonzo approved, who are we to argue?

The White Abalone finish is a lovely swirly pattern. It’s almost a reverse design to Ringo Starr’s oyster black pearl Downbeat finish. It screams classic Ludwig and won’t be around for long.
