Did Vistalite's come in this color with this badge?

That is not a standard Vistalite color, unless it is being photographed under some weird light source.

I suspect it is another RCI or similar clone, claiming to be Ludwig. I consider ANYONE but Ludwig making a drum and sticking a Ludwig badge on it to be a FRAUD!

From what I can see of the badge (not much) it seems correct for the period.

My kit:
Ludwig Vistalite Big Beat set consisting of:
14” X 22” bass, 16” X 16” floor tom, 8” X 12” ride tom, 9” X 13” ride tom, 5” X 14” snare
Ludwig 201 Speed King bass drum pedal
Ludwig 1124 Spur-lok hit-hat with Ludwig Standard Paiste 14” cymbals (760 & 770 gr) with ching-ring
Two Ludwig Standard S-270 cymbals stands
18” Zildjian crash cymbal (1550 gr) and 20” Zildjian ride cymbal (2130 gr) with CAMCO sizzler
Gibraltar motorcycle seat-style drum throne with backrest

The badge is 1976,and there is no "flourescent green"in any of the catalog pages.Probably a made-up drum.Is it worth $350?AHDUNNO...

I think the green in your pic is the standard green, just under a very bright flash, which you can see reflected on the snare rim and the bass drum shell. Or, could be illuminating the bottom head of the snare...look at the red band...it is two shades of red, caused by the bottom head.

When I hit the link I saw this blue one for a $400 BIN price. Is that a ballpark price for that drum? A couple hours ago I had a guy offer me a blue/70's just like it (very minor pitting on lugs) for $200. I thought it was high but I know guitar prices much better than drums.

Also, no intent to jack the thread, just seemed to fit.

Couldn't link to it but when you click the first link above, the blue drum is at the bottom left of the page.

Believe it or else!
