QUALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Polmuz, like the highest series of leading manufacturers, is treated individually, meaning there can be no compromise or irregularities in the set. Each drum component is thoroughly inspected upon unpacking and checked with a keen eye. We strive for Polmuz to be recognized 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 well know, a perfectly smooth edge brings joy and happiness during the traditional ritual of sliding your hand along the edge before fitting new heads – not to mention the ease of tuning the drum and the perfect shell resonance. All drum hardware is also checked because there's nothing more pleasant than screws that turn smoothly into perfectly fitted lugs. After such thorough quality control, individual set components receive a custom sticker with a serial number, date, and handwritten signature confirming the high quality of the drum. If a defect or irregularity is detected, the shell is completely remade.

WARRANTY

Each Polmuz shell, after successfully passing testing, receives a lifetime warranty, and hardware used in Polmuz drums comes with a 3-year warranty.

FEATURES

100% maple shells

The Maple series shells are made from 6 plies of maple with a total thickness of 5 mm. The highest priority in designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced midrange and high frequencies provide great versatility across many music styles. The full, powerful character and rich resonance of the shells were achieved through carefully selected maple plies and focus on shell forming and edge shape.

Edges

The 45° bevel on the edges ensures they make contact with the head at the optimal point. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been ground and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. This results in a clear sound across the full frequency range. Sharp edge finishing on tom bearing edges creates a quick attack and short sustain, while a rounded edge on bass drum generates a unique, warm vintage tone.

Finish

The matte finish on Polmuz drums gives each set a unique look and distinctive sound. The lacquer used for finishing Maple Polmuz drums is of the highest quality.

Tube Lug

Tube Lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug construction makes them look like traditional mounts, but the lug "floats" above the shell to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the entire set to resonate across the full sound range. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each lug features a long screw that sits deep within it. Additionally, each is protected by dual washers – metal and nylon – which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome hardware

In Polmuz drums, all hardware is finished with a chrome plating. The beautiful appearance conveys a sense of highest quality materials and breaks from the brand's unfortunate reputation from years past. 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 signature of the highest level of craftsmanship in each drum.

Mounting system

The non-invasive mounting system ensures maximum resonance and stability regardless of conditions. The streamlined construction makes it easy to position toms closer together, providing greater freedom and comfort. Additionally, aluminum components provide lower weight.

Bass drum lugs

The lugs on Polmuz bass drums are equipped with rubber washers that help protect 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

Transparent, 1-ply heads of high quality are used in the drums.

The batter heads additionally feature a wide muffling collar. The resonant heads are distinguished by a characteristic vintage-style head with a distinctive Polmuz logo.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Polmuz – a legendary brand that produced Poland's first drums, known to every drummer. The company was founded in the 1960s, and its facilities were located at Grochowska 75/77 in Warsaw. Besides drums, Polmuz also produced percussion accessories and wind instruments. The last drums were made in the late 1990s, after which the brand completely disappeared from the market. In 2018, a team from the specialist drum shop DrumStore in Gdynia decided to revive the Polmuz brand by acquiring full rights to its name.

Today, Polmuz represents high-quality drum sets and ethnic instruments that match the best products of the competition. Bold design combined with proven solutions has made Polmuz rapidly conquer not only the Polish drum market, but also the hearts of those who remember their first Polmuz drums.
