A long tradition of acrylics. When it comes to processing and working with Plexiglas, Pearl is one of the forerunners, since the Japanese brand's first production of seamlessly joined fittings dates back to 1973. This technology, which made it possible to manufacture a die-cast barrel (without having to glue it), was of real importance, as it considerably improved not only the strength, but also the sound of the drum. Pearl's decision to reintroduce this product, so inseparable from the best years of rock 'n' roll, and to take this technology a step further, has resulted in Crystal Beat drums of the highest quality, both solid and punchy. A hell of a look! Available in four colors, including this totally transparent blue sapphire, this series veils both beat and crystal, without suffering from fragility, despite a rather reduced thickness of 6 mm for the toms and 7 mm for the 22? bass drum. Configurations are offered without a matching Snare Drum, but it's still hard to take your eyes off this beauty, especially in the spotlight. Everyone can also play it at home, savoring the pleasure of getting close to it, of taming it, knowing that once on display, it will reveal the slightest foot or wrist movement to the audience. Unbeatable! A truly identifiable sound. It's impossible not to remember the greatest rockers who have performed on this type of kit. It's also a good idea to pretend you're one of them, and to give your hits the full amplitude they need to reveal the full potential of these four strings. The Crystal Beat fusion will take a beating without flinching, bringing out the best in this transparent material that adds a little visual and sonic magic to the stage. On the other hand, even with this boosted version, your banker will certainly be disappointed!
