B20 Bronze
The cymbals are forged from B20 bronze, an alloy of copper and tin with a proportion of 80/20. B20 sheets are characterized by a rich, dark and warm tone. High tin content makes the material harder.
B20 bronze is used in the production of the highest series of cymbals by manufacturers such as Sabian, Zildjian and Meinl. Undoubtedly, it is the best alloy for the production of percussion cymbals.
Finish
In the Hel series, a raw finish was chosen. It immediately suggests that we are dealing with true, artisanal production. The cymbal surface has been re-forged, except for the bell. The entire piece was darkened and polished, giving the cymbal a truly dark and prestigious character.
This type of processing ensures that cymbals from the Hel series not only sound great, but also look stunning.
Forging Method
Each cymbal was additionally forged during production. This adds character, and the sound becomes sandier and gains significantly in depth.
Cymbal Edges (thinned)
Polmuz cymbals are uniquely thinned at the edges. This allows the sheets to achieve full sound without the need for excessive striking force.
Thickness
Polmuz Hel Ride 21" is a medium thickness cymbal with resonant and deep sound. It works great in rock styles as well as jazz.
Production
The cymbals were made entirely by hand in our manufactory in Turkey. Hence the unique character of each sheet. This country has a long-standing tradition in cymbal manufacturing. For years they have been valued for their original production process, quality, and most importantly, their reasonable price. It is no wonder that these instruments are considered among the best in the world.
Warranty
Each cymbal (except splash) is covered by a unique warranty. Unlike other manufacturers, Polmuz only needs a photo of the defect. If your cymbal cracks, you send us a photo of it, and our staff will take care of the rest.
Polmuz ensures that during the warranty process, you do not have to part with your product. Until your new cymbal arrives, you can continue to use your favorite Polmuz cymbal.
Quality and Professionalism
Polmuz, like the highest series from leading manufacturers, is treated individually, meaning there can be no compromise or defect in the drum set. Each percussion element undergoes careful inspection upon unpacking and is checked with a discerning, professional 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 provide an even greater sense of professionalism and comfort. As we well know, a perfectly smooth edge brings joy and satisfaction during the traditional ritual of running your hand along the edge before installing a new head, not to mention the ease of tuning the drum and the perfect sound of the shell. Additionally, all drum hardware is checked because there is nothing more pleasant than smoothly threading screws into perfectly fitted lugs. After such thorough quality control, individual components of the set receive a sticker with a serial number, date, and a handwritten signature confirming the drum's high quality. Should any defect or irregularity be found, the shell is manufactured anew.
About the Polmuz Brand
Polmuz - a legendary brand producing 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 accessories and wind instruments. The last drums were manufactured in the late 1990s, after which they completely disappeared from the market. In 2018, the team from the specialist percussion shop DrumStore in Gdynia decided to revive the Polmuz brand by acquiring full rights to its name.
Today, Polmuz produces high-quality drum sets and ethnic instruments that are in no way inferior to the best products from competitors. Bold design combined with proven solutions has allowed Polmuz to rapidly conquer not only the Polish percussion market, but also the hearts of those who remember their first Polmuz drums.
