QUALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Polmuz, like the highest series from leading manufacturers, is treated individually, which means there can be no defects or irregularities in the kit. Every drum element is carefully inspected upon unpacking and checked with a keen, 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 achieve an even greater sense of professionalism and comfort. As we well know, a perfectly smooth edge brings joy and happiness during the traditional ritual of running your hand along the edge before applying new heads, not to mention the ease of tuning the drum and the ideal shell tone. Additionally, all drum hardware is checked because nothing is more pleasant than screws turning smoothly into perfectly fitted lugs. After such thorough quality control, individual kit components receive a custom sticker with a serial number, date, and handwritten signature confirming the drum's high quality. If any defect or irregularity is detected, the shell is remade.

WARRANTY

Every Polmuz shell, after passing testing, 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 layers of maple with a total thickness of 5 mm. The highest priority in designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid and high frequencies ensure great versatility across many musical styles. The full, powerful character and rich resonance of the shells were achieved through the use of carefully selected maple layers 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 drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring ideal head-to-shell contact. The result is clean sound across the full frequency range. Sharp bearing edges on tom drums create quick attack and short sustain, while rounded edges on bass drums generate unique and warm vintage sound.

Finish

The matte finish on Polmuz drums gives every kit a unique appearance and distinctive sound. The lacquer used for the Maple series 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 "floats" above the shell, so as to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the entire shell to resonate across the full range of sounds. To minimize the risk of tuning instability, each drum features a long screw that sits deep in the lug. Additionally, each lug has double security in the form of washers—metal and nylon—which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome hardware

All hardware in Polmuz drums is finished with a chrome plating. The beautiful appearance conveys a sense of highest quality materials 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 signature of the highest level of craftsmanship in every drum.

Mounting system

A non-invasive mounting system ensures maximum resonance and stability regardless of conditions. The streamlined design allows toms to be positioned closer together, providing greater freedom and comfort. Additionally, aluminum components ensure lighter weight.

Bass drum spurs

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

Heads

Clear, 1-ply bearing heads of high quality are used on the drums.

The batter heads additionally feature 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 percussionist. The company was founded in the 1960s, and its facilities were located at Grochowska Street 75/77 in Warsaw. In addition to drums, Polmuz also produced wind and brass instruments. The last drums were made in the late 1990s, and the brand then completely disappeared from the market. In 2018, the team of the specialized percussion shop DrumStore from Gdynia decided to reactivate the Polmuz brand by purchasing complete rights to its name.

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