Originating in 1973, Pearl’s Crystal Beat Acrylic drums feature a 7mm molded, seamless Acrylic shell. This uniquely dense shell's flexible constitution lends itself well to straight shooting, no overtone punch. However, combining it with our Free-Floating chassis is where the Crystal Beat snare really shines. With no holes or hardware touching the shell, it is free to speak with its intended voice without being encumbered by shell stress or stability. Crystal Beat Snare Drums are available in two sizes and four finishes. for a vivid combination of cutting tonal power and stunning visual appeal.
