Here's one I've never even heard of before

A Hoshino acrylic kit just popped up on Seattle Craigslist. I had no idea they made acrylic drums. Buyer's asking $1195 and it looks like it's pristine. Very cool how they did the badges on these offset from the vent hole.

I came across a similar kit in Dutch internet marketplace. Smokey brown color. Pristine also, only costing 700 bucks. Don't like the sound of acrylic kits, so I let it go.

Yeah, according to 3 minutes of googling, this price is delusional and they're normally worth more like 4-500. Cool looking though. Someone said maybe they're called "Crystar" kits.

Pearl (MIJ) had acrylic kits. Called "Crystal Beat".

Started in 1973.

Now they are re-issuing them.

They sound as good as they look. I've always wanted an acrylic kit. I have an acrylic snare drum from PDP which I enjoy. This kit came up and I did not hesitate when I saw the price. They were filthy and in need of attention. The sound of the toms is warm and true. The bass drum is that wet 70s thud. I love em already. Very easy to tune and no damping. Perfect amount of sustain and decay. I play Pearl Masters Custom but I will definitely bring these to my next gig.
