    With holes drilled for bottom-
    heads and some more versatile
    tom-holders, that kit could
    sound really good.

    They had one of those at Drum World in Pittsburgh that I drooled over.

    Mom and Dad wouldn't budge however. A teacher of mine a couple of ears ahead of me in HS played a clear Vistalite set.

    Didn't Bonham use acrylic Ludwigs ? He sounded good. I think the colours would bother me after a while.

    Bonham's amber Vistalites with the three circles on the bass drum head is the second most recognized drumset in the world. That four piece frog-in-a-blender kit with The Beatles on the front is the first.

    The seams on the Ludwigs, follwing Fibes' lead in the acrylic marketplace, had bigtime problems with cracking. And while Ludwig was quick to sell them to you they were slow to replace them while under warranty.

    I have a couple toms, 8" and 10", from what I think was an Octoplus kit. The seam on one is like 5/8 said: split. I want to repair it with some JB Weld but haven't figured a way to bring the drum together. I tried using one of those nylon straps with a ratchet but had no luck. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.
