From hisdudnes

i'm pretty sure that bass drum is 22"nice find either way!!!

Yep.agreed.It has 10 lugs per side.The 20" drums have only 8 per side.Nice find though.Acrylic drums are making a serious comeback.

Thanks for the comments...and birthday wishes :)

And I stand absolutely corrected...22" it is!

I put some new batters on and I really love the drums....and I am looking for another tom to complete it...not quite sure if I want a 13" or a 10"....(or both to pick/choose :) ) but soon it will have a brother tom to join it!

Thanks again...I AM loving it! I'm still working on getting a couple nice pics...

Kind regards,

Russell

Great find. Many moons ago, when Vistalite was brand new, a guy donated a new set to my highschool and I was fortunate enough to play it in our jazz band. Wish I could find a deal like that. Enjoy
