Great piece of gear!

Love the Miller Machine! There is nothing else out there that works as well. Lots of thought went into this and I'm very grateful! Makes awkward situations a breeze!

How have I gone so long without one?

Finally bought a triangle machine to use in a musical theater pit, and I honestly don't know how I've done so many shows without one. This makes your life so much easier.

Amazing Miller Machine

I am beyond excited to finally be part of of the Miller Machine family. It is a revolutionary tool especially for those who play complex setups for theatre shows where you have to change multiple sticks while playing both kit and percussions. Complete game changer. I'm super happy with my purchase. Billy has been super professional, the delivery was super quick and came before expected (from USA to London UK). I know that I'll soon buy a second one for the finger cymbal.

Matilda Madness

Rehearsing for the musical Matilda in my community of Sudbury ON,Canada and the Miller Machine has been a life saver! There is not a lot of Triangle work but the Miller Machine has made those instances so easy and stress free. Its easy to assemble and place any where in your set up. Thanks Billy!

Got all the notes covered for the gig, and threw in some extra pieces to the order for future uses. Fantastic product. Fantastic customer service.

Works Great!

Bought this to play on the touring production of The Wiz, it works like a charm and makes the transitions between instruments seamless!

Awesome replacement body

I broke a piece off the body of my Miller Machine bc I tend to throw stuff in a bag and it gets knocked around so when Billy said he had a couple of bodies at discount bc they had minor cosmetic damage I jumped on it. I love my Miller Machines and use them in nearly every show I do. I’m also keeping the box so I can transport it more safely from now on 😉

Great product

I have recently had the opportunity to use the Miller triangle machine in playing percussion/drumset for The Gardens of Anuncia, a new musical at Lincoln Ctr. The Miller triangle machine is a great product that makes our work as multi-percussionists much easier; its function and design is elegant, practical and high-quality. Like the hi-hat or bass drum pedal, the Miller machine is a unique and valuable invention that revolutionized the percussion world.

Excellent gadget!

I wish I’d ordered it years ago, it makes so many things easier Works equally well if played with a hand, or whatever stick you have in your hand at the time! Delivery to here in Scotland was incredibly fast. Thanks :)

Perfect for Front Ensemble in Marching Band

I purchased the trigger for my high school program as one of our percussionists was having difficulty with multiple mallet/stick/beater changes in our show music. Not only did this do the trick, it allowed me to fill in more of their parts where before there needed to be space for the changes.

Absolutely loved the Miller Machine! It has been a longtime coming, why didn't I purchase this years ago? Wonderfully made, and plays perfectly! Thanks Mr. Miller. - B. Baker, Percussionist, Indiana

Happy to send you replacement parts, just send me a message.

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.
