Show Off your Acrylic

Crush is enough to make me want to switch from Zickos but then I'd have to change my screen name. Never mind.
 
Here is the before.

And hopefully the rest will look like this when I'm done.

Its a 76 Vista I picked up a last week.

Sweet. Blue is my favorite Vistalite color. Would love one of those.
 
Yes I do agree..lol...you have a fantastic kit there Roy...My dad had a old set of clear vista's 24" bd also I always liked that kit. kinda was the reason i got the crush's.

It's called DTE energy music theater now but like a lot of people that grew up around here it will always be "Pine Knob" to us.

One of the great things about summer in Michigan is seeing a great band @ Pine Knob outside under the stars.

keep swattin(Acrylics..lol),

I'm just about done with my 1976 Blue Ludwig. I'll actually be taking it to a gig tonight.

Very nice looking kits here!

This is my set. Late 70s / early 80s, 22x13, 13x9, 16x16 with an Acrolite snare.
Cymbals are New beats, two Istanbul Mehmets and a Dream Bliss on the right side.

I just love this set.
It was in super bad condition after years of neglect and I had to put in some serious hours to get it back in shape..

But it's definitely in shape now, and will stay so. Gotta love acrylic!

Hey guys,
So I was wondering, would the clear crush acrylics look good with LEDs? And I just wish that Crush would make some smoke acrylic. I'm a fan of darker colors.

I believe so i was going to get some LED's for the shells on my Crush's but dont want anything interrupting the resonant of the shell, just personal preference i'm sure it would look sweet though.

Yeah, on a see-through kit, the pillow looks bad! I love the sound, though. There used to be a guy on Ebay selling DW clone pillows in different colors. I meant to buy the orange version but I missed out.
The hardware is Ludwig Hercules from the '70's with a Mapex stand for the 13.
 
You could use a Remo muffler ring and eliminate the pillows. Since they are held in place, you never have to worry about them shifting in transit. If all else fails, use a felt strip. I have never liked the pillows anyway.
