Nice. My very first kit was a set of Olympics that I bought when I was 11.

Did you not have trouble finding skins that fit? I remember not being able to find skins because, supposedly, the dimensions were metric. So it wasn't quite 14", or 12" for the toms, etc....
 
Yeah, Olympic is (or at least, was) made by Premiere, which is British. Maybe now everything's standard. But long ago, their dimensions were metric.
