Video Features 100% maple shells The shells of the Maple series are made of 6 layers of maple with a total thickness of 5 mm. The highest priority in designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid and high tones provide great versatility across many musical styles. The full, powerful character and rich resonance of the shells were achieved through the use of carefully selected maple layers, as well as careful attention to shell forming and edge shape. Edges The edge cut at a 45° angle ensures they make contact with the head at the optimal point. Each edge in Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect head-to-shell contact. The consequence of this solution is clean sound across the full frequency range. Sharp edge finishing at the contact point on toms provides quick attack and short sustain, while a rounded edge on the bass drum generates unique and warm vintage sound. Finish The matte finish of Polmuz drums gives each kit a unique appearance and distinctive sound. The lacquer used to finish the Maple Polmuz drums is of the highest quality. Tube Lug Tube Lug 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 whole drum to resonate across the full sound range. To minimize the risk of drums going out of tune, each lug is equipped with a long screw that is deeply seated in the lug. Additionally, each lug has double security in the form of washers - metal and nylon - which guarantee tuning stability. Chrome hardware In Polmuz drums all hardware is finished with a chrome coating. The beautiful appearance conveys a sense of highest quality materials used and breaks with the disreputable reputation of the brand 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 trademark of the highest level of craftsmanship in every drum. Mounting system A non-invasive mounting system ensures maximum resonance and stability regardless of conditions. The streamlined construction makes it easy to position toms closer together, providing greater freedom and comfort. Additionally, parts made from aluminum provide less weight. Bass drum hooks The hooks on Polmuz bass drums are equipped with rubber pads that help protect their wooden rims from damage. In this arrangement, the hooks and rims form one cohesive unit so they don't separate or rattle, even with loose tuning. Heads Transparent, high-quality 1-ply struck heads are used in the drums. The batter heads additionally feature a wide muffling collar. The resonant heads are distinguished by a characteristic vintage-style head featuring a distinct Polmuz logo.
