Polmuz Maple Snare 14x6.5 Aqua Blue Satin lacquer

The reactivated Polmuz snare drums bear no resemblance to their prototypes from the past century. Today Polmuz is above all bold design combined with proven and solid technologies, known from the products of the best brands.

Breakthrough, unconventional designs, high manufacturing quality and convincing sound mean that today Polmuz tradition is beginning anew!

QUALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

Polmuz, like the highest series of leading manufacturers, is treated individually, which means there can be no question of any defects or irregularities in the drum. Each percussion element is subjected to careful inspection upon unpacking and checked with a discerning, experienced 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 ritual of running your hand along the edge before installing new heads, not to mention the ease of tuning the drum and the perfect tone of the shell. Additionally, all drum hardware is inspected because there is nothing more pleasant than smoothly screwing bolts into perfectly fitting lugs. After such thorough quality control, individual elements of the set receive an individual sticker with serial number, date and handwritten signature confirming the high quality of the drum. If a defect or irregularity is discovered, the shell is manufactured anew.

Features

Edges

The 45° edge cut means they make contact with the head at the optimal point. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect contact between the head and shell. The consequence of this solution is clean tone across the full frequency range. The rounded edge on Polmuz snare drums generates fast attack, balanced resonance, and most importantly - unique, slightly vintage tone.

Finish

The lacquered finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique look and distinctive tone. The lacquer used on the finish of Polmuz Maple drums is of the highest quality. The gorgeous, matte, clear lacquer will satisfy even the most discerning tastes. To emphasize the uniqueness of this model, a decorative stripe was created around its entire circumference using the inlay method. The composition and application method of the lacquer correspond to those used in top-tier sets from renowned brands.

Tube Lug

Tube Lug style lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug construction makes them look like traditional mounts, but the lug shell "floats" above the drum shell to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the entire shell to resonate across the full range of tones. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each features a long bolt that seats deeply into the lug. Additionally, each is fitted with double protection in the form of washers - metal and nylon - which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome hardware

On Polmuz drums all hardware is finished with a chrome coating. The beautiful appearance conveys 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 of solid brass and chrome-plated, the Polmuz nameplate is a guarantee and signature of the highest level of craftsmanship on every drum.

Snare Mechanism

Polmuz snare drums are equipped with a smoothly operating snare mechanism. The ability to adjust spring tension allows you to customize the tone depending on the situation.

Heads and springs

Polmuz drums feature coated, 1-ply batter heads of high quality under the Polmuz branding. The springs used on Polmuz snares are proven components with 20 coils that work perfectly with almost any resonant head. Thanks to them the snare generates characteristic tone, free of unwanted overtones. The distinctive red spring stripe is enhanced with the traditional white Polmuz logo.

About the Brand

Polmuz - legendary brand producing Poland's first drums, known to every drummer. The company was founded in the 1960s, and its facilities were located at Grochowska Street 75/77 in Warsaw. Besides drums, Polmuz also produced percussion 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 percussion shop DrumStore from Gdynia decided to reactivate the Polmuz brand by acquiring full rights to its name.

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