Quality and professionalism

Polmuz model 1 is treated individually, which means there can be no damage or defect affecting the sound. After unpacking, every element of the drum kit is carefully inspected and checked with a keen, luthier's eye. We want Polmuz to be remembered as a premium product, so all shell edges must be perfectly even and smooth, and they are also waxed for an even richer feeling of professionalism and comfort. As we all know, a perfectly smooth edge brings joy and happiness during the traditional ritual of running your hand along the edge before putting on a new drumhead, not to mention how easy it makes tuning the drum and how well the shell sounds. In addition, all the drum hardware is checked, because there is nothing more pleasant than screws threading in smoothly into perfectly fitted lugs. After such a thorough quality check, the individual elements of the kit get an individual sticker with a serial number, the date and a handwritten signature confirming the high quality of the drum. If a defect or irregularity is found, the shell is made again from scratch.

Features

Maple shells

The snare drum shells of the Maple series are made from 6 plies of maple, with a total thickness of 4.8 mm. Sound was the top priority when designing Polmuz drums. The balanced mids and highs give you great versatility across many musical styles. The character of the wood gives the drums a distinctive sound you won't find in any other drums. The focused, clean sound of the shells comes from carefully selected maple plies, as well as a focus on shell forming and edge shape.

Edges

The 45° bevel on the edge means it meets the drumhead at the optimal point. Every edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect contact between the drumhead and the shell. The result is a clean sound across the full frequency range. 

Finish

The lacquered finish on Polmuz drums gives every kit a unique look and an out-of-the-ordinary sound. The lacquer used to finish Maple drums by Polmuz is of the highest quality. This gorgeous, matte, clear lacquer will win over even the most discerning tastes. To highlight this model's uniqueness, a decorative inlay stripe was applied around its entire circumference using the intarsia technique. The lacquer's composition and application method match those used on top-tier kits from renowned brands.

Tube Lug

Tube Lug lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug construction makes them look like traditional lugs, but the lug body "floats" above the shell, so as to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the whole drum to resonate across its full range of sound. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each one has a long screw that seats deep into the lug. In addition, each lug has double protection in the form of washers - metal and nylon - which guarantee tuning stability.

Chrome hardware

On Polmuz drums, all hardware is finished with a chrome coating. The beautiful look 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 shells is a genuine statement of quality and style. Made of solid brass, the chrome-plated lettering Polmuz is both a guarantee and a hallmark of the highest level of craftsmanship in every drum.

Strainer

Polmuz snare drums are equipped with a smoothly operating strainer. The ability to adjust snare wire tension allows the sound to be tailored to the situation.

Drumheads and snare wires

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

About the brand

Polmuz - a legendary brand producing the first Polish drums, known to every drummer. The company was founded in the 1960s, and its plant was located at Grochowska 75/77 street in Warsaw. Besides drums, Polmuz also produced hand percussion instruments and wind instruments. The last drums were made in the late 1990s, after which they disappeared from the market entirely. In 2018, the team of the specialist drum store DrumStore from Gdynia decided to relaunch the Polmuz brand by buying out the full rights to its name.

Today Polmuz makes high-quality drum kits and ethnic instruments that are in no way inferior to the best products from the competition. Bold design combined with proven solutions have made Polmuz take not only the Polish drumming market by storm, but also the hearts of those who remember their first Polmuz drums.
