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. Sound was the highest priority when designing Polmuz drums. Balanced mid and high tones ensure great versatility across many musical styles. The wood's characteristics give the drums a distinctive tone you won't experience in any other snare drums. The focused and clear sound of the shells is achieved through carefully selected layers of maple, as well as attention to shell forming and edge shaping.

Edges

The 45-degree edge cut allows them to contact the head at the optimal point. Every edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The result is a clear tone across the full frequency range. The rounded edge on Polmuz snares generates fast attack, balanced resonance, and above all—a unique, slightly vintage-sounding tone.

Finish

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

Tube Lug

Tube Lug lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug design 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 drum to resonate across the full sound range. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each uses a long screw that sits deep in the lug. Additionally, each has double protection in the form of washers—metal and nylon—which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome Hardware

All hardware on Polmuz drums features a chrome finish. The beautiful appearance conveys a sense of highest quality materials and breaks away from the brand's questionable 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 trademark of the highest level of craftsmanship in every drum.

Strainer

Polmuz snares are equipped with a smooth-operating strainer. The ability to adjust spring tension allows you to dial in the sound depending on the situation.

Heads and Springs

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