Finish
The Navalia series features a hybrid finish. The bell and its surroundings, up to half the diameter, are finished in high polish. The remaining surface towards the edge is finished traditionally with subtle hammer marks, while the edge itself is darkened in a manner characteristic of the Polmuz brand. The visible hammer marks on the bottom immediately suggest that we are dealing with true, handcrafted production.
This type of finish ensures that the Navalia series cymbals not only sound great but also look stunning.
Hammering Method
Each cymbal is additionally hammered during production. This adds character and the sound becomes more sandy, significantly gaining in depth.
Cymbal Edges (darkened)
Polmuz cymbals feature a distinctive darkening on the edges. Thanks to this, the cymbals achieve full sound without the need for excessive striking force.

Warranty

Polmuz ensures that during the complaint process the user does not have to part with their product. Until the new cymbal is shipped, you can continue using your favorite Polmuz cymbal.
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.
