Polmuz Birch Snare 13x6.5 Blue Black Fade lacquer

Polmuz snare drums have nothing in common with their prototypes from the last century. Today, Polmuz is above all bold design combined with proven and solid technologies, known from the products of the best brands.

Groundbreaking, unconventional designs, high quality craftsmanship and convincing sound make Polmuz tradition start anew!

QUALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Polmuz, like the top series of leading manufacturers, is treated individually, which means there can be no question of any defects or irregularities in the set. Each percussion element is subjected to meticulous inspection upon unpacking and checked with keen, soldering expertise. We strive for Polmuz to be remembered as a premium product; all shell edges must be perfectly straight and smooth and are additionally waxed to achieve an even richer sense of professionalism and comfort. As we know well, a perfectly smooth edge evokes joy and happiness during the traditional ceremony of sliding your hand along the edge before fitting a new head, not to mention the ease of tuning the drum and perfect shell sound. Additionally, all drum hardware is checked because there is nothing more pleasant than smoothly screwing bolts into perfectly fitted lugs. After such solid quality control, individual elements of the set receive an individual sticker with a serial number, date and hand-signed confirmation attesting to the high quality of the drum. If a defect or irregularity is detected, the shell is remade.

Features

100% birch shells

The Birch series shells are made of 6 plies of birch with a total thickness of 4.8 mm. The highest priority in designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid and high tones provide great versatility in many musical styles. Full, focused tone and resonance richness of the shells were achieved through carefully selected birch plies and a focus on shell forming and edge shape.

Edges

The 45° angle cut on the edges means they contact the head at the optimal point. Each edge on Polmuz snares has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The consequence of this solution is clean tone across the full frequency range. The rounded edge on Polmuz snares generates fast attack, balanced resonance, and above all - a unique, slightly vintage tone.

Finish

The lacquer finish on Polmuz drums gives each set a unique look and unconventional tone. The lacquer used on Polmuz drums is of the highest quality. The stunning, matte, colorless lacquer will delight even the most discerning tastes. To emphasize the uniqueness of this model, a decorative stripe has been applied around its entire circumference using the inlay method. The composition and lacquer application method corresponds to those used in top sets by renowned brands.

Chrome hardware

All hardware on Polmuz drums is finished with a chrome plating. The beautiful appearance conveys a sense of highest quality materials used and breaks with the unfortunate reputation of the brand from years past. The cast logo on Polmuz shells is a true declaration of quality and style. Made of solid brass and chrome-plated, the Polmuz nameplate is a guarantee and calling card of the highest level of craftsmanship on every drum.

Snare mechanism

Polmuz snares are equipped with a smoothly operating snare mechanism. The ability to adjust spring tension allows you to customize the tone depending on the situation.

Heads and springs

Polmuz drums use coated, single-ply batter heads of high quality. The springs used in Polmuz snares are proven components with 20 coils that work perfectly with almost any resonant head. Thanks to them, the snare generates characteristic tone, free of unnecessary overtones. The distinctive red spring strap has been enhanced with the traditional white Polmuz logo.

About the brand

Polmuz - a legendary brand manufacturing the first Polish drums, known to every percussionist. 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 made in the late 1990s, after which they completely disappeared from the market. In 2018, a team from the specialist percussion shop DrumStore from Gdynia decided to revive the Polmuz brand by purchasing full rights to its name.

Today Polmuz is a high-quality percussion set and ethnic instruments that are in no way inferior to the best products of competitors. Bold design combined with proven solutions has made Polmuz rapidly conquer not only the Polish percussion market, but also the hearts of those who remember their first Polmuz drums.
