Model 3 History and Design Guidelines

Once upon a time, far far away beyond seven mountains and forests, there lived a man named Tomek. Tomek dreamed of being able to buy professional drums with hardware for 4 thousand PLN. Tomek wondered why top drum manufacturers didn't offer professional attributes on drums in this price range, because that's what he wanted to sell. Instead of waiting for salvation, he thought, hmm, I guess I have to do this myself. Quite by coincidence, Tomek is a production technologist and architect, so he knew how to approach it. The design work took a long time, prototype after prototype. But never mind...

My drums had to have:

  • 100% birch shells with no cheap poplar filler - done
  • professionally machined bearing edge for perfect head seating and excellent tuning - done
  • beautiful metal logo in vintage style, not a plastic badge - done
  • non-drilled lugs - done
  • non-invasive professional suspension - done
  • beautiful finish with visible wood grain or high-quality veneer - done
  • pedal on platform with double chain easy to mount to the lug, plus HH with spring tension adjustment - also done
  • threaded tom holders from both sides that don't sag during playing - done
  • Authentic sound - also done

Hmm looks like we have a success - clearly Polmuz

FEATURES

100% birch shells

The Birch series shells are made of 6 layers of birch with a total thickness of 6.9 mm. The highest priority when designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced midrange and high frequencies provide great versatility across many musical styles. Full, focused tone and rich resonance of the shells were achieved through the use of carefully selected layers of birch, as well as focus on shell forming and bearing edge shape.

Bearing Edges

The 45° angle cut on the bearing edge allows it to contact the head at the optimal point. Each bearing edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The consequence of such a solution is pure tone across the full frequency range. Sharp contact edge finish on toms delivers quick attack and short sustain, while the rounded bearing edge on bass drums generates unique and warm vintage tone.

Finish

The lacquered finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique look and distinctive tone. The lacquer used on the birch drums of Polmuz is of excellent quality. The gorgeous blue color transitioning to black will delight even the most demanding tastes. The composition and application method of the lacquer corresponds to those used in the higher series of renowned brands.

Chrome Hardware

In Polmuz drums, all hardware is finished with chrome plating. The cast logo on Polmuz shells is a true declaration of quality and style. Made from solid brass and chrome-plated, the Polmuz nameplate is a guarantee and hallmark of the excellent level of craftsmanship of each drum.

Mounting System

Non-invasive mounting system ensures maximum resonance and stability regardless of conditions. This design makes it easier to position toms closer together, providing greater freedom and comfort.

Bass Drum Lugs

The lugs on Polmuz drum sets are equipped with rubber washers that help protect their wooden hoops from damage. In this arrangement, lugs and hoops form one cohesive unit, so they don't separate or rattle even with loose tuning.

Heads

The drums feature 1-ply struck heads of high quality under the Remo branding

The bass drum heads additionally feature a wide muffling collar. The resonant heads are distinguished by the characteristic black head with a prominent Polmuz logo.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Polmuz - legendary brand producing the first Polish drums, known to every drummer. The company was founded in the 1960s, and its facilities were located at 75/77 Grochowska Street in Warsaw. Besides drums, Polmuz also produced percussion mallets and wind instruments. The last drums were produced in the late 1990s, and then completely disappeared from the market. In 2018, the team of the specialist drum shop DrumStore from Gdynia decided to revive the Polmuz brand by purchasing complete rights to its name.

Today Polmuz represents high-quality drum sets and ethnic instruments that are in no way inferior to the best competition products. Bold design combined with proven solutions have made Polmuz rapidly conquer not only the Polish drum market, but also the hearts of those who remember their first Polmuz drums.
