Features

100% maple shells

The Maple series shells are made from 6 plies of maple with a total thickness of 4.8 mm. Sound was the highest priority when designing Polmuz drums. Balanced midrange and high tones provide great versatility across many musical styles. Full, powerful character and rich resonance of the shells are achieved through carefully selected maple plies, as well as focus on shell forming and edge shape.

Edges

The 45° bearing edge allows them to contact the head at the optimal point. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The consequence of this solution is clear tone across the full frequency range. Sharp bearing edge finish on toms provides fast attack and short sustain, while the rounded edge on bass drums generates unique and warm vintage tone.

Finish

The matte finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique appearance and unconventional tone. The lacquer used on Maple series Polmuz drums is the highest quality.

Tube Lug

Tube Lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug design makes them look like traditional mounting hardware, but the lug "floats" above the shell to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the shell to resonate across the full sound range. To minimize the risk of drum detuning, each contains a long screw that sits deep in the lug. Additionally, each has dual protection in the form of washers—metal and nylon—which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome hardware

In Polmuz drums all hardware is finished with chrome plating. The beautiful appearance conveys a sense of highest quality materials and breaks with the brand's unsavory 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 trademark 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 design makes it easier to position toms closer together, providing greater freedom and comfort. Additionally, parts made from aluminum ensure reduced weight.

Bass drum hooks

The hooks on Polmuz set bass drums are equipped with rubber pads that help protect their wooden rims from damage. In this arrangement, the hooks and rims form one cohesive unit so they don't separate or rattle, even with loose tuning.

Heads

High-quality transparent, single-ply batter heads are used on the drums.

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