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 provide great versatility in many musical styles. The wood's characteristics give the drums a distinctive sound you won't experience in any other drums. The focused and clear sound of the shells was achieved through carefully selected maple plies and focus on shell forming and edge shape.

Edges

The 45° bearing edge ensures optimal contact with the drum head. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect contact between the head and shell. The result of this solution is pure tone across the full frequency range.

Finish

The lacquered finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique look and distinctive tone. The lacquer used on the Maple Polmuz finish is of the highest quality. The 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 application method of the lacquer correspond to those used in top sets from recognized brands.

Tube Lug

Tube Lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug design makes them look like traditional mounts, but the lug body "floats" above the drum shell, so as to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the whole shell to resonate across the full range of sounds. To minimize the risk of tuning slipping, each lug features a long screw that sits deep in the lug. Additionally, each has double security in the form of washers - metal and nylon - which guarantee 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 from solid brass, the chrome Polmuz nameplate is a guarantee and calling card of the highest level of craftsmanship in each drum.

Strainer

Polmuz snare drums are equipped with a smooth-operating strainer. The ability to adjust spring tension allows you to customize the sound depending on the situation.

Heads and Springs

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