Quality and Professionalism

Polmuz, like the highest series of leading manufacturers, is treated individually, meaning there can be no question of any defect or irregularity in the set. Each percussion element is subjected to careful inspection upon unpacking and checked with a meticulous, 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 feeling of professionalism and comfort. As we know well, a perfectly smooth edge evokes joy and happiness during the traditional ritual of running your hand along the edge before fitting a new head, not to mention the ease of tuning the drum and the perfect sound of the shell. Additionally, all drum hardware is checked as there is nothing more pleasant than smoothly screwing bolts into perfectly fitted lugs. After such thorough quality control, individual set elements receive an individual sticker with a serial number, date and a handwritten signature confirming the high quality of the drum. If any defect or irregularity is found, the shell is remade.

Features

Maple Shells

The snare drum shells from the Maple series are made from 6 plies of maple with a total thickness of 4.8 mm. The highest priority in designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid and high tones ensure great versatility in many music styles. The specifics of the wood impart a characteristic sound to the drums that you won't experience in any other drums. The focused and clean sound of the shells was achieved through the use of carefully selected maple plies and attention to shell formation and edge shape.

Edges

The 45° bearing edge ensures optimal contact with the head. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The consequence of such a solution is clear sound across the full frequency range.

Finish

The lacquered finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique look and distinctive sound. The lacquer used for finishing Polmuz Maple drums is of the highest quality. A gorgeous, matte, clear lacquer will delight even the most discerning tastes. To emphasize the uniqueness of this model, a decorative stripe has been applied around its entire circumference using the inlay method. The composition and method of lacquer application corresponds to those used in top sets of renowned brands.

Tube Lug

Tube 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 body to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the whole assembly to resonate across the full range of sounds. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each lug features a long screw that seats deeply into the lug. Additionally, each one has double protection in the form of washers - metal and nylon - which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome-plated Hardware

All hardware on Polmuz drums is finished with a chrome coating. The beautiful appearance gives a sense of highest quality materials used and breaks with the brand's unfortunate reputation from years past. The cast logo on Polmuz drums is a true declaration of quality and style. Made of solid brass and chrome-plated, the Polmuz name is a guarantee and at the same time a calling card of the highest level of craftsmanship of each drum.

Snare Mechanism

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

Heads and Snares

The drums feature Evans HD Dry or Evans UNO heads. The snares used in Polmuz snare drums are proven Puresound Super 30, which work perfectly with almost any resonant head. Thanks to them, the snare drum generates a characteristic sound, free from unnecessary overtones.

About the Brand

Polmuz - a legendary brand producing the first Polish drums, known to every percussionist. The company was founded in the 1960s, and its facilities were located at 75/77 Grochowska Street in Warsaw. In addition to 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 of the specialist percussion shop DrumStore from Gdynia decided to reactivate the Polmuz brand by purchasing complete rights to its name.

Today Polmuz offers 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.
