Features
100% maple shells
The shells of snare drums from the Maple series are made of 6 layers of maple with a total thickness of 4.8 mm. The highest priority when designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid and high tones provide great versatility across many musical styles. The specifics of the wood give the drums a distinctive 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 layers, as well as focus on shell forming and edge shape.
Edges
A 45-degree angle cut on the edges means they contact the head at an optimal point. Each edge in Polmuz drums has been carefully sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The consequence of this solution is a clean sound across the full frequency range. The rounded edge in Polmuz snare drums generates fast attack, balanced resonance, and above all - a unique, slightly vintage sound.
Finish
The lacquered finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique appearance and distinctive sound. The lacquer used for the finish of Maple series Polmuz drums is of the highest quality. The stunning, matte, clear lacquer will delight even the most demanding 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 corresponds to those used in top-tier sets of recognized brands.
Tube Lug
Tube Lug hardware is characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug design makes them look like traditional mounting brackets, but the lug body "floats" above the drum shell 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 one features a long screw that seats deeply in the lug. Additionally, each one has double protection in the form of washers - metal and nylon - which guarantee tuning stability.
Chrome-plated hardware
In Polmuz drums all hardware is finished with a chrome-plated coating. The beautiful appearance gives a sense of the highest quality of materials used and breaks with the brand's unfortunate reputation from years past. The cast logo on Polmuz drum shells is a true declaration of quality and style. Made from solid brass and chrome-plated, the Polmuz nameplate is a guarantee and also 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 customize the sound depending on the situation.
Heads and Springs
Polmuz drums use coated, 1-ply batter heads of high quality branded Polmuz. The springs used in Polmuz snare drums are proven 20-coil elements that work excellently with almost every resonant head. Thanks to them, the snare drum generates a characteristic sound, free from unnecessary overtones. The distinctive red spring stripe has been enhanced with the traditional white Polmuz logo.
Quality and Professionalism
Polmuz, like the highest series from leading manufacturers, is treated individually, meaning there can be no compromise or defect in the drum set. Each percussion element undergoes careful inspection upon unpacking and is checked with a discerning, professional eye. We strive for Polmuz to be recognized as a premium product - all shell edges must be perfectly straight and smooth, and are additionally waxed to provide an even greater sense of professionalism and comfort. As we well know, a perfectly smooth edge brings joy and satisfaction during the traditional ritual of running your hand along the edge before installing 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 there is nothing more pleasant than smoothly threading screws into perfectly fitted lugs. After such thorough quality control, individual components of the set receive a sticker with a serial number, date, and a handwritten signature confirming the drum's high quality. Should any defect or irregularity be found, the shell is manufactured anew.
About the Polmuz 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. Besides drums, Polmuz also produced percussion accessories and wind instruments. The last drums were manufactured in the late 1990s, after which they completely disappeared from the market. In 2018, the team from the specialist percussion shop DrumStore in Gdynia decided to revive the Polmuz brand by acquiring full rights to its name.
Today, Polmuz produces high-quality drum sets and ethnic instruments that are in no way inferior to the best products from competitors. Bold design combined with proven solutions has allowed Polmuz to rapidly conquer not only the Polish percussion market, but also the hearts of those who remember their first Polmuz drums.
