Man that really takes me back. Ideal drums (blue sparkle) were my first set and I played on them for probably 10 years. I used to be somewhat ashamed of the name, since it was reminiscent of the Ideal Toy company - I wanted to be grown up, not a kid playing with a "toy" drumset. I don't have them anymore (I gave them away after I bought a Slingerland set), but remember they were the Slingerland style, even with the inward turned triple flange hoops.

I left you a PM.

Ideal bass will be winging it's way to Oklahoma and it's new home-the island of misfit drums.......

And it will find a fine new home, in a different config, and color. Thank you,sir, as this will make a great re-gift.
