QUALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Polmuz, like the top series of leading manufacturers, is treated individually, which means there can be no question of any defect or irregularity in the kit. Each drum element is subjected to meticulous inspection after unpacking and checked with a keen, expert eye. 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 well know, a perfectly smooth edge brings joy and happiness during the traditional ceremony of running your hand along the edge before fitting new heads, not to mention the ease of tuning the drum and the perfect shell tone. Additionally, all drum hardware is checked because there's nothing more pleasant than screws that turn smoothly into perfectly fitted lugs. After such thorough quality control, each kit component receives an individual sticker with a serial number, date and handwritten signature confirming the high quality of the drum. Should a defect or irregularity be detected, the shell is manufactured anew.

WARRANTY

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

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. The full, powerful character and rich resonance of the shells was achieved through the use of carefully selected maple plies, as well as attention to shell forming and edge shaping.

Edges

The 45° angle edge cut ensures they make contact with the head at the optimal point. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The result is clear tone throughout the full frequency range. Sharp edge finishing on tom bearing edges provides quick attack and short sustain, while the rounded edge on bass drums generates unique and warm vintage tone.

Finish

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

Tube Lug

Tube Lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug design makes them look like traditional mounts, but the lug shell "floats" above the drum shell, so as to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the entire shell to resonate in full range. To minimize the risk of drum detuning, each lug features a long screw that seats deep into the lug. Furthermore, each one has double reinforcement in the form of washers - metal and nylon - which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome hardware

All hardware on Polmuz drums is finished with chrome plating. The beautiful appearance provides a sense of highest quality materials used and breaks with 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 also a hallmark of the highest level of craftsmanship in each drum.

Mounting system

A 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, parts made from aluminum ensure lighter weight.

Bass drum hooks

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

Heads

Clear, single-ply, high-quality bearing heads are used on these drums.

The bass drum head additionally features a wide muffling collar. The resonant heads are distinguished by a characteristic vintage-style head with a prominent Polmuz logo.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Polmuz - a legendary brand producing Poland's first 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 snare drums and wind instruments. The last drums were produced in the late 1990s, after which they completely disappeared from the market. In 2018, the team from the specialist drum shop DrumStore in Gdynia decided to reactivate the Polmuz brand by acquiring full rights to its name.

Today Polmuz is a line of high-quality drum kits and ethnic instruments that rival the best products from the competition. 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.
