Hey I am new here, but I need some advice. I have a inspiration model black beauty (I believe). I included a photo, I wanted to get some advice on what you think it may be worth if sold, if it is the inspiration model. Kinda just what exactly I have here I guess. Thank you.

From the photo, the plating appears to be "art gold", not actual gold. Of course I could be mistaken, it's hard to tell from your photo. More photos, and close up photos would help determine what you have.
Condition is everything for pricing, and the market for that model is not huge.
I know of several Inspiration models, and a "minty" one went for over 2K, but that was years ago. The price could be higher or lower these days, not a lot of folks collecting or seeking one these days. The market for twenties drums has shrunk a bit over the years.
It's a rare model. I'm sure Mike Curotto can offer you more information.

We need way more detailed photos to even have a chance to help you...
What BEC said though is true re: rareness and the market.
