Soft and Hard
The unique Block Beater has a solid inner core with a softer outer latex layer. When played soft you get a nice warm sound, when hit harder the inner nylon core is able to speak giving you a brighter, more articulate sound.
Added weight to the front of the beater helps with beater balance and increased articulation at louder volumes.
Striking Surface
Similar to other Miller Machines, the new Block Machine uses the same custom-made red latex striking surface, that gives you:
- A Natural Feel
- Excellent Rebound
- Minimal Stick Attack
- Great Visibility in Low-Light Settings
Block Arm
The Block Arm's unique "S" shape helps accommodate many different types of blocks, and bells.
The Upside-Down
Remember to flip the block, and sometimes the bell, upside-down, so the Block Beater will hit the most appropriate side.
Anywhere, Any Setup
Use any 3/8" percussion mount to position your Block Machine anywhere, in any setup.
Easy to setup.
Set it, and forget it.
