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 set. Each percussion element is subjected to meticulous inspection after unpacking and checked with a keen, professional eye. We strive for Polmuz to be recognized as a premium product. All drum 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 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 because nothing is more pleasant than smoothly screwing bolts into perfectly fitted lugs. After such thorough quality control, individual set components receive a sticker with a serial number, date, and handwritten signature confirming the high quality of the drum. If a defect or irregularity is detected, the shell is manufactured anew.

Features

Maple Shells

The snare drum shells from the Maple series are made from 6 layers of maple with a total thickness of 4.8 mm. The highest priority in designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid and high tones provide great versatility in many musical styles. The wood's characteristics give the drums a distinctive sound you won't experience in any other snares. The focused and clear sound of the shells was achieved through the use of carefully selected maple layers, as well as careful attention to shell forming and edge shape.

Edges

The 45° edge bevel ensures that they contact the head at the optimal point. Each edge in Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect contact between the head and the shell. The result is a clear tone across the full frequency range.

Finish

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

Tube Lug

Tube Lug hardware is characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug design makes them look like traditional mounting hardware, but the lug shell "floats" above the drum shell to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the entire shell to resonate across its full range of sounds. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each lug features a long screw that sits deep in the lug. Additionally, each is double-secured with washers – one metal and one nylon – ensuring tuning stability.

Chrome Hardware

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

Snare Wires

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

Heads and Springs

The drums feature Evans HD Dry or Evans UNO heads. The snare wires used in Polmuz drums are the proven Puresound Blaster 1420, which work perfectly with almost any resonant head. Thanks to them, the snare generates a characteristic sound free of unnecessary overtones.

About the Brand

Polmuz - a legendary brand that produced the first Polish drums, known to every percussionist. The company was founded in the 1960s, and its factories were located at 75/77 Grochowska Street in Warsaw. In addition to drums, Polmuz also produced percussion instruments and wind instruments. The last drums were made 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 full rights to its name.

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