"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.

Customers praised this percussion device as "a game changer" and "life saver" for pit orchestras and musical theater. It eliminates the need to switch between sticks and beaters, enabling seamless triangle playing while performing on drum kits or multiple instruments. "Stellar construction" and "lightning fast shipping" were frequently noted. One shopper mentioned needing to adjust beater positioning for softer dynamics.

Should have purchased sooner!

No more chasing beaters around or holding 3 implements in one hand! Stellar construction. Lightning fast shipping with awesome packaging. After a run using the triangle machine I knew I needed the finger cymbal machine too. Billy is a genius!

;) Thank you Josh! Billy

Triangle machine with brass beater

Excellent and very well made piece of kit - essential for pit band drumming. Fast shipping to the UK. Used for Bonnie and Clyde and soon to be used for Come From Away too. Thanks Billy!

Thanks for the review Jason! Enjoy the shows! Billy

Just buy it!!

I’ve used this machine in two setting so far: a semi-pro orchestra, and a pit orchestra, and this small but mighty machine fits both the bills. This machine reduces your stress instantly by eliminating the need to pencil in stick changes. Lastly, it’s compact size makes it easy to mount to any stand and doesn’t require its own dedicated stand, making it perfect for kit players and pit orchestra drummers that have little space to spare! I can easily say this is one of my favorite purchases!

Thank you for your wonderful review Charolette! Billy

Love this thing! I new it would be convenient but I was blown away with how consistent the sound was. I will use it from now on maybe even if all I play is triangle!

Love it! Thank you Wes! Billy

2nd Miller Machine- Perfect!

Got busy with playing a show and starting a set up at home for a new production. Miller Machine is so important to most of my set ups now I purchased another triangle machine.
Now have 2 triangle (one brass and one steel beater) and 1 finger cymbal machine.
The best orchestrators know what is possible when you have a Miller Machine and always write passages that would be unplayable without the Miller.
Thanks Billy for such a perfect invention. Cheers!

This Is How It’s Done

I recently received my fourth Miller Machine. If you play percussion, and especially musical theater, the Miller Machine is indispensable. Why would you hold a triangle in one hand or hang it from a music stand when you can do everything you need to with The Machine? I use mine for finger cymbals as well, and with Billy’s new beaters, rolls are a piece of cake.

Ron! Thank you for being an Awesome customer!!! Billy

The best gadget I've ever owned

It is absolutely perfect for every percussionist. It is so amazing and it can be played very differently in attack and dynamic.
Just perfect!

Thank you for your kind words Christian! I'm glad the Triangle Machine is working out for you. Billy

Indispensable and awesome!

The Miller Machine is the single most useful piece of gear available when playing musical theatre. It allows sensitive and expressive playing at any dynamic level, using sticks, mallets, or even just your fingers. How did we ever manage before the Miller Machine?? Every percussionist needs one (or two or three)!

John, thank you for your continued support, and leaving this awesome review! Billy

Great product; great service

I use the miller triangle machine for musical shows and it’s a perfect option when you don’t have time to pick up a triangle beater - plus it allows for setting it further away if necessary

He sent it the day after I ordered it - it arrived on time and ready to go

Thank you Jerry, I really appreciate your support! Billy

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.

Thank you for this wonderful review Valerio! I'm glad you're happy with it. Billy

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.

Thank you Norbert! What a wonderful review, I really appreciate it. Have fun with the show! Billy
