In 1973, Pearl launched the Crystal Beat, a breakthrough: for the first time on an acrylic drum kit, the shells were molded rather than rolled, increasing sonic power and, above all, overall durability.

A long tradition of acrylic.
When it comes to processing and working with Plexiglas, Pearl is among the pioneers, as the Japanese brand’s first seamless shells date back to 1973. This technology, which made it possible to produce a molded shell (without having to glue it), was of real significance because it greatly improved durability as well as the sound of the kit. By deciding to bring back this product—inseparable from rock ’n’ roll’s most creative years—and by pushing the technology even further, Pearl now offers Crystal Beat drum kits of excellent craftsmanship: both sturdy and hard‑hitting.
A killer look!
Offered in three finishes, including this fully transparent “Liquid Smoke,” this series is as much about the beat as it is about crystal, without suffering from fragility despite a fairly slim thickness of 6 mm for the toms and 7 mm for the 22" bass drum. The configurations are offered without a matching snare, but it’s still hard to take your eyes off this beauty, especially under the spotlight. You can also play it at home, savor the pleasure of getting up close and taming it, knowing that once on display it will reveal the slightest foot or wrist movement to the audience. Unbeatable!
A truly distinctive sound.
It’s impossible not to ignore the greatest rockers who shone on this type of kit. It’s also strongly recommended to channel one of them and give your strokes full breadth to reveal the maximum potential of these four shells. The Crystal Beat Rock will take the hits without flinching and bring out the best of this transparent material, adding a touch of visual and sonic magic to the stage. And as for what your wallet can handle, even for this beefed‑up version, your banker will surely be impressed!
