POLMUZ MODEL 1 MAPLE KELLER – MADE IN POLAND

Polmuz is a legendary brand that made the first Polish drums, known to every drummer in Poland. The company was founded in Warsaw in the 1960s, with its factory at 75/77 Grochowska Street. Besides drums, Polmuz also made percussion and wind instruments. The last drums were made in the early 1990s, and then the brand disappeared from the market. In 2018 the team behind DrumStore, a drum shop in Gdynia, revived Polmuz and bought the rights to its name.

Model 1 Maple Keller is our Model 1 on shells made of American Keller maple. We make everything else the same way as on every Model 1: by hand, in our workshop in Gdynia, with ultra-sharp bearing edges and heavy-duty hardware.

Keller maple

Keller makes American maple shells, and we turn them into a Polmuz, from the bearing edge to the sticker.

The shells in the Maple Keller series are made of plies of American Keller maple: 6 plies, 4.8 mm in total. We sand an ultra sharp bearing edge on every drum, the bass drum included, so the drum tunes up easily, from a high jazz pitch to low, growling toms.

The hardware, tom mounts, Evans heads and finish are the same as on the other Model 1 kits. You choose the sizes, the colour and the extras, and we build the drums to order.

Finishes and extras

How we price a drum kit

How we build the Model 1

Every drum is made by hand, in our workshop in Gdynia.

A 2 × 45° bearing edge, milled, polished and waxed, ultra sharp on every drum, the bass drum included. The head sits on its flat part, so the drum tunes up easily, low as well, and stays in tune.
Holes drilled to within 0.2 mm. We draw the hole layout in QCAD, so the tension rods go in straight and do not rub against the hoop.
Tube lugs barely touch the shell, so the drum resonates freely. Long tension rods with a metal and a nylon washer hold the tuning.
The tom mounts do not go through the shell.
The bass drum claws are die-cast and have rubber pads, and the bass drum spurs are sturdy, with a retractable spike.
Inside every drum there is a sticker with the owner's full name, and a single coat of oil and wax on the inside is included in the price.
