Welcome to VDF!

What you have is a Rainbow 'Pattern C' style kit. I think that green/clear combination is a rare one. You'll have big time grief finding matching orphans in that pattern/color combo. Yours is the first one I've seen in green/clear spirals.

Beautiful kit. Take good care of it and enjoy it.

Too many great drums to list here!

I'd bet that is half of a double bass set.Big diameter mounted toms on a 22"bass drum (I assume 14/15)-I have never seen that color combo in spiral OR straight.

I agree with Gilnar but if your bent on adding on to your kit check out this site.

Super-cool color combo. My two fav vista colors, in spiral no less. Good luck and happy hunting.

Thanks for sharing.
