1985 Pearl FFS Crystal Beat Acrylic Natural Samples

Legendary Pearl Free-Floating Shell. Launched in 1973, Pearl’s Crystal Beat Acrylic drums feature a 7mm molded, seamless Acrylic shell. This uniquely dense shell lends itself well to a straight shooting, no overtone punch. However, combining it with the 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 resulting in a loud and immediate attack.
