They look awesome! Love even watching someone else play because you can really see the pedal work!

To me, they're strictly performance drums. Really nice on a stage with lots of lighting etc, but for just a working man's (like me) drum set...meh! Seem like you could mess them up rather quickly. Just think how quickly the plastic headlights on a new car lose their luster.
all the best...

i'd like to have some but like you and Marko said, to keep them clear is a lot of maintenance. Seems like they tend to get foggy over time if not given extra care. Gotta really be careful with what they're cleaned with. Need specialty cleaners and rags that won't scratch.

I own three Acrylic Snare drums... someday I want a full set. Just to have. But couldn't see myself gigging to much with them I'd be worried about them to much.
I had a double bass Ludwig Vistalite kit from the late 70's. They had a different sound but they don't travel well, especially in the cold. I was living in western New York and the Vistas hated the cold. They would crack if bumped into something when they were cold.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
