Get to know them!





In 1973, Pearl unleashed Crystal Beat on the drumming world. Now it's back! The Crystal Beat rack tom delivers a devastating one-two punch of eye-popping visuals and beastly sonic attack. Crystal Beat's revolutionary seamless construction is molded (instead of rolled), which gives you robust acrylic drums that will stand up to your busiest touring schedule. Pearl outfitted Crystal Beat toms with their Opti-Mount suspension system, which nullifies excessive shell pressure and increases your sustain, while 1.6mm triple-flanged hoops give you the ideal amount of attack without sacrificing the punchy, full-range tone.

Modern acrylic drums





The Pearl Crystal Beat rack tom isn't a reissue. Everything - from its molded shell to its hardware - benefits from the latest drum-technology innovation. It all adds up to a roadworthy drum that, in addition to looking insanely cool, sounds totally killer. Whack this tom and prepare yourself for a fat and punchy sound with powerful projection that'll cut right through the thickest prog metal mix. Crystal Beat drums have made many converts among Sweetwater drummers. We affectionately call them "Crystal Beast."
