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 when designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid 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 focus on shell forming and bearing edge shape.

Bearing Edges

A 45° bevel on the bearing edge means it makes contact with the head at the optimal point. Each bearing edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring ideal head-to-shell contact. The consequence of this solution is clean sound across the full frequency range. Sharp bearing edge finishing on tom shells delivers quick attack and short sustain, while the rounded bearing edge on bass drums generates unique and warm vintage sound.

Finish

The matte finish on Polmuz drums gives every kit a unique appearance and exceptional 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 design makes them look like traditional mounts, but the lug "floats" above the shell to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the entire shell to resonate across the full range of sounds. To minimize the risk of drum detuning, each lug has a long screw that sits deep in the lug. Additionally, each has double securing with washers – metal and nylon – that guarantee tuning stability.

Chromium-plated hardware

In Polmuz drums all hardware is finished with a chrome coating. The beautiful appearance gives a sense of the highest quality of 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 calling card of the highest level of craftsmanship of each drum.

Mounting System

A non-invasive mounting system ensures maximum resonance and stability regardless of conditions. The streamlined design makes it easy to position toms closer together, providing greater freedom and comfort. Additionally, parts made from aluminum ensure lighter weight.

Bass Drum Spurs

The spurs in Polmuz kit bass drums are equipped with rubber pads that help protect their 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

Transparent, 1-ply high-quality batter heads are used on the drums.

The resonant heads on the bass drum additionally feature a wide damping collar. The resonant heads are distinguished by the characteristic vintage-style head with a distinctive Polmuz logo.
