Love my Miller Machine

I got this for my percussion set up for a particular song with quick changes. I use it so much more than I expected I’m going to need one for my drum set as well. Great product!

Perfect

I don't know how I went so long without a Miller Machine. This device is a must have! Thank you for your contribution to the world of percussion.

Smooth Operating Awesomeness!

As an owner of both the standard Miller Machine and now the Miller Machine Plus, I can confidently state that the extra expense for the product is totally worth it! Super smooth feel and easily customizable to the players setup.

Miller Machines Rock!

I own two for triangles and one for finger cymbals. These devices are well-made and extremely valuable when playing Broadway shows! Couldn't get by without them!!!!

Miller machines

Myself and a number of other students from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama recently ordered miller machines, they are fantastic, really well made and have already been used a lot! Billy's customer service was excellent as well and he helped us to compile our order.
Thank you very much!!

Excellent piece of kit!

Why I never bought one of these years ago is beyond me! A game changer 😀

The best thing!

A fantastic invention.
Has saved me from missing cues and dirty looks from the MD.
I have no excuses now for missing triangle notes.

Miller Machine Outstanding

For nearly two decades wrestling with the solo percussion and chamber music literature, I have tried every trick in the book to make a beautiful triangle sound with two handfuls of mallets designed for other purposes. The Miller Machine is the most elegant and efficient solution to this perennially vexing problem I have ever seen. 10 out of 10. And many thanks to its inventor.

Amazing piece of kit

Solidly built and really useful for the show I’m working on. A must-have for pit drummers.

Billy was really helpful/friendly and it was posted to the UK quickly.

Thanks again!

Great product!

I just purchased "The Miller Machine" for a theater production and it's so easy to use. I wish I had one of these about 40 years ago!! Such a great deal for the price. And it came very quickly. I highly recommend this product!

Whatever you are comfortable with and works for you will work for The Miller Machine. The Machine is designed to be an extension of whatever's in your hand(s) at any given moment.

I have compiled a list of mounts that I know about and recommend for use with The Miller Machine.

However, this list is far from exhaustive, and as long as the mount will receive the mounting arms 3/8" rod, it will work. This applies to all Miller Machines.

I recommend triangles up to 7", or 8".

If your triangle is a bit larger than the recommendation, it still may work, and I have a few tricks that may help eke out a bit more space.

I've used these finger cymbals on the Machine. Dream, Meinl, Sabian, TreeWorks, Weiss, and Zildjian.

You can use any brand of finger cymbal as long as the mounting hole is at least 3/16th's of an inch so the finger cymbal can move freely on the mounting arm.

Always happy to answer any question(s) you may have. Send a message.
