Features

Maple shells

The snare drum shells from the Maple series are made from 6 plies of maple, with a total thickness of 5 mm. Sound was the highest priority when designing Polmuz drums. Balanced mid and high tones provide great versatility across many musical styles. The specific nature of the wood gives the drums a characteristic sound 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, as well as careful attention to shell forming and edge shaping.

Edges

The 45-degree edge cut ensures optimal contact with the drum head. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The result is pure tone across the full frequency range.

Finish

The lacquered finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique appearance and distinctive sound. The lacquer applied to the Maple Polmuz finish is of the highest quality. The beautiful, matte, clear lacquer will delight 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 lacquer composition and application method correspond to those used in top-tier sets from recognized brands.

Tube Lug

Tube Lug mounting hardware is characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug construction 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 entire drum to resonate across the full range of sounds. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each has a long screw that seats deeply into the lug. Additionally, each lug has double protection in the form of washers—metal and nylon—which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome-plated hardware

On Polmuz drums, all hardware is finished with a chrome plating. The beautiful appearance gives a sense of highest quality materials 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 and chrome-plated, the Polmuz nameplate is a guarantee and signature of the highest level of craftsmanship on every drum.

Strainer

Polmuz snare drums are equipped with a smoothly operating strainer. 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 springs used in Polmuz snare drums are the proven Puresound Blaster 1420, which work excellently with virtually any resonant head. Thanks to them, the snare drum generates characteristic sound, free from unnecessary overtones.
