POLMUZ WALNUT

The snare drums of the revived Polmuz brand are nothing like their predecessors from the last century. Today, Polmuz stands for bold design combined with proven and robust technologies, known from the best brands’ products.

The shell of the Polmuz Walnut WAL-S365-ISN snare drum provides full freedom

to shape its sound, making it suitable for any music genre. The minimalist, old-school appearance of Polmuz drums harks back to the brand’s history and adds a vintage character. Groundbreaking, unconventional designs, high-quality craftsmanship, and compelling sound make the Polmuz tradition begin anew today!

FEATURES

100% Walnut Shells

The shells of the Walnut series snare drums are made of 7 layers of walnut with a total thickness of 5.4 mm. The highest priority in designing Polmuz drums was sound. Balanced mid and high tones provide great versatility across many musical styles. The full, low sound while maintaining focused and clear shell tones is achieved through carefully selected layers of walnut and a focus on shell forming and bearing edges.

FINISH

The lacquered finish of Polmuz drums gives each set a unique look and distinctive sound. The lacquer used to finish the Walnut drums by Polmuz is of the highest quality. The stunning, clear red lacquer will impress even the most discerning tastes. To highlight the uniqueness of this model, an ornamental stripe was made around the entire circumference using the inlay method. The composition and application method of the lacquer match those used in top sets of renowned brands.  

CHROMED HARDWARE

In Polmuz drums, all hardware is finished with a chromed coating. The beautiful appearance gives a sense of the highest quality materials used and breaks away from the brand’s disreputable past. The cast logo on Polmuz drum shells is a true declaration of quality and style. Made from solid brass, the chromed Polmuz name is both a guarantee and a hallmark of the highest level of craftsmanship in each drum.  

HEADS AND SNARES

The drums feature coated, single-ply batter heads by EVANS. The snares used in Polmuz snare drums are proven brass wires with 20 strands, which work well with almost any resonant head. These ensure the snare generates a characteristic sound, free of unnecessary overtones. The standout red stripe on the snare wires is complemented by the traditional white Polmuz logo.

Edges

The 45° bearing edge ensures optimal contact with the drumhead. Each edge on Polmuz drums has been sanded and additionally waxed, ensuring perfect membrane-to-shell contact. This results in a clear sound across the full frequency range and easy tuning.

Throw-Off Mechanism

Polmuz snare drums are equipped with a smoothly operating throw-off mechanism. The ability to adjust the tension of the snare wires allows for sound customization depending on the situation.

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 “hovers” above the shell, minimizing contact with the drum. This allows the shell to resonate fully. To minimize the risk of detuning, each drum features a long screw deeply seated in the lug. Additionally, each lug has double protection in the form of metal and nylon washers, ensuring tuning stability.
