POLMUZ MODEL 2 WALNUT – 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 2 Walnut is Model 2 in walnut: shells made of 7 plies of walnut, built in our workshop in Gdynia, with simpler hardware than on Model 1. Walnut sounds lower and warmer than maple, while staying clean and focused.

In short
  • Wood 100% walnut 7 plies, 5.6 mm in total
  • Bearing edges 45°, ultra sharp on every drum, the bass drum included
  • Hardware chrome lighter than on Model 1, gold at extra cost
  • Order made to measure you choose the sizes, colour and extras yourself

Walnut in Model 2

The same walnut as in the Model 1 Walnut, with Model 2 hardware and heads.

We make the shells from 7 plies of walnut, 5.6 mm in total. Walnut has a lower, full sound, and it still stays focused and clean. It is lighter than bubinga and sounds warmer than maple.

The hardware is chrome and slightly lighter than on Model 1, and the heads are either Polmuz branded or Remo Encore. You choose the finish from the same list as for Model 1.
