Just a fun thread for a stress free friday. Anything you have been searching for on ebay, saving up for or wanting for along time but have not found yet? I guess I will start if that's ok. No surprise, it's a sonor kit. But a maple shelled "hilite" in black diamond sparkle. Here let me find a pic! Oh my lord how I wantski so badski I can taste it! No have the money or even a clue where to find one tho'    |

This is the most fun game in the world: the "I want" game. Probablyl how I spend the majority of the downtime with my band mates. The Drumnetics double pedal:  www.drumnetics.com Its a springless pedal... amazing concept, I want to try it SOOOO BAD. It peaks my engineering curiousity. Also really really wanting to add some electroics to my set soon, a couple samples that would liven up the sound a little bit: bass drops, explosion noises, duck quack (?), etc... and one more... I want to add an 18" tom to my 4 piece (18x22, 14x12, 16x16, and 7x13 snare). I love the thundering lows. sigh... someday. Great topic! |

I'm on the lookout for a 1970's Vistalite 5x14 snare drum - no tint. Still kicking myself for not buying one while I was with the company. I'm hoping I might see one at the Chicago Show next month.

My lust is for a natural finish kit. The pieces and dimensions are not out there in the wild, so the only way to do it is to have it custom built. Which requires a pesky winning Lotto ticket.

oh oh oh, electric trigger xylophone like neil pert used in the R30 30th anniversary Rush DVD... mmmmmm.
Also want to add some hard cases... my poor drums rattle around in our band trailer in those soft cases... my babies.
I'm almost afraid to admit on here that I'm a sucker for the super trendy keller shell custom drum co's like shine, or truth, or six gun, or ghost. Any of those kits... 2 bass drums (22x22), toms at 12x14, 16x16 and 16x18.
Anyone else want to skip out of work early and go jam for a while? Cause I get that feeling... bad. I bet my cubicle neighbors get annoyed with the constant rudiments on the desk.

A little bit of nostalgia, I suppose. Plus I've always liked the sound and the look of the no-tint Vistalites. So, this would be another snare for the arsenal. I suppose if I had the chance to buy a complete Vistalite set I'd consider it. Though, I'm looking at a Trick set this year to go with the Trick snare I picked up last summer. |

I owned a 78 or 79 Blue Vistalite kit - and it had a Chrome snare.

What happened to that one? People love vistalites. The tone of them is kinda dead though once you get past all the overtones. They sure cut thru though. People go ape when I take the jellybeans out. I don't really know why. Flashback I guess  |

I don't own it anymore.
It was a blast for the time, but I don't think I'd ever go down that road again.

Shell packs were going for about 3500. It was a limited edition color, and they're all sold out. They turn up on ebay and in shops once in a while. |

I have two Craviotto snares. I don't know what he would ask for those drums, but I'll guarantee you they sound great and aren't cheap.  |

Walnut Craviotto kit, 14x26 10x14 16x16 16x18
I've lusted after that kit too. The ultimate kit I don't already own would be some kind of solid Craviotto. Other than that, an Oaklawn Camco in rock sizes and in better condition than the one I already own. I'd consider a Timeless Timber DW and a Sonorlite, but I'm not prepared to pay the high prices both these kits generally go for. |

Ive wanted a Sonor designer kit (light) in blue sparkle for years. I saw Wil Calhoun on a set in a tribute to Larrie Londin video and it was the most beautiful kit ive ever seen....and ive been around awhile.
