Features
100% walnut shells
The snare drums from the Walnut series are made from 7 layers of walnut with a total thickness of 5.4 mm. Sound was the highest priority in designing Polmuz drums. Balanced mid and high frequencies provide great versatility across many musical styles. Full, low-end tone combined with focused and clean shell sound is achieved through carefully selected walnut layers and attention to shell formation and edge shaping.
Edges
The 45° beveled edge ensures optimal contact with the head. Every edge on Polmuz drums is sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring ideal head-to-shell contact. The result is clean tone across the full frequency range. The rounded edge on Polmuz snares generates fast attack, balanced resonance, and most importantly—unique, slightly vintage tone.
Finish
The lacquered finish on Polmuz drums gives each set a unique appearance and distinctive sound. The lacquer used on Polmuz Walnut drums is of the highest quality. The gorgeous, matte, clear lacquer will impress 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 composition and application method of the lacquer correspond to those used in top-tier sets from renowned brands.
Tube Lug
Tube Lugs are characteristic of all Polmuz drums. The unique Tube Lug design makes them look like traditional mounts, but the lug body "floats" above the shell to minimize contact with the drum. This allows the entire drum to resonate across the full sound range. To minimize tuning instability, each features a long screw that seats deeply in the lug. Additionally, each lug has double protection in the form of metal and nylon washers, 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 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.
Snare Strainer
Polmuz snare drums are equipped with a smoothly operating strainer. The ability to adjust spring tension allows you to customize the tone depending on the situation.
Heads and Springs
Polmuz snares feature coated, single-ply batter heads of high quality. The springs on Polmuz snares are proven components with 20 coils that work excellently with virtually any resonant head. Thanks to them, the snare produces characteristic tone without unnecessary overtones. The distinctive red spring strap is enhanced with Polmuz's traditional white 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.
