"Miller Machine is the Best."

Hi - my name is Dave M., I'm a drummer in Toronto Canada and I recently bought a Miller Machine at Soul Drums here in town.

It's saving my life right now, I'm playing in the pit for a production of William Finn's "Falsettos" and it was a scary amount of choreography before I got the Miller Machine.

Great idea, easy to mount and play, totally awesome.

Thanks, Dave M.

Fantastic

Bought it for my university's production of Anastasia and it is so convenient considering it completely eliminates the need for a triangle beater switch during the show. I had a lot of good comments from the conductor about it as well. Rugged build and solid materials. Once it's mounted, it doesn't move. Also very light and portable. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your fantastic review Nathan! Glad the conductor noticed, that's cool! Billy

Must-have for percussionists

Ever try playing modern percussion notation when there's only two of you and and 15 instruments? Well, at least the triangle won't be unplayed or scrambled for, at any rate. Just mind the dampening. 9/10, highly recommend.

Thank you for leaving a review Denis! Great to know the Triangle Machine has helped make things easier for you. Billy
