Evster2012 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It was a recreation of Bonzo's Amber Ludwig Vistalite kit from the mid-70s. I thought the first album cover on the bass drum skin a nice touch, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwyn Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It was a recreation of Bonzo's Amber Ludwig Vistalite kit from the mid-70s. I thought the first album cover on the bass drum skin a nice touch, yes? I liked the bass drum head too, I noticed it when I enlarged some of the photo's posted from the rehearsal. And Jason really rocks!! I always thought one of the best things about Zep was the drums. Well it STILL is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumhedd Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It is a new kit, this time in Yellow vistalite as opposed to Bonzo's original orange. He is most definately the heir to the throne!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budrock Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Ludwig started making the Vistalites again a few years ago after discontinuing them in the late 70's. I am a drummer and I bought a new blue Vistalite kit in 2006. They sound awesome. Jason's looked to be a yellow kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeyedrums Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I like how his dad's 3 rings symbol are on the underside of the cymbals! great touch! I think the kit was amber to replicate his dad's kit and not yellow, however. I think because Jason's kit was lit up more because of the hi-tech lighting it looked yellow but I am just guessing. I think us drummers can discuss this without a "blow out" like those in the other threads. I think the yellow vistalites are too light to look amber with lighting on them but the amber can look lighter or darker depending on the lighting. Bonzo's kit did not usually have so much white light on them so they always looked "darker" from what i can tell. I would like to know for sure just for grins and giggles now that this has come up. If anyone finds a definitive source with this info please post. Thanks to all! peace! Pop I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

led zep maniack Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I believe sam ash music was selling a recreation of bonzos orange vistalite ludwig kit.

Honeydripper Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 sadly, for the show, they cut a hole in the outter kick head and stuck a Shure Beta 52 in there. Still rings with no muffling, but adds a tad of the 80's "thud" as opposed to micing off the outer head.....true Bonzo style.....where every kick beat has a breath.

Del Nileppez Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Orange, yellow...you guys are missing the point. Correct me if I`m wrong...but I never seen the tamborine that used to sit in top of Bonzo`s cymbols. This is one of the things that made his sound unique. Jason played better than great but I was disappointed not to see or hear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
