Upgrade your Miller Machine with a Brass, Brass Ball, Stainless Steel, or Steel Beater.
Each one is optimized in length, weight, and balance (fulcrum) to get the best sound from your Machine.
- Brass: Warm and mellow, perfect for soft, expressive passages, ideal for triangle.
- Brass Ball: Focused and clear without losing warmth, great for a finger cymbal, or crotale.
- Stainless Steel: Bright, a reliable choice for any style, good all around option.
- Steel: Sharp and cutting, provides maximum projection, ideal for triangle.
Swapping beaters is easy, so you can experiment, and find the ideal sound for your setting.

"Thankfully, the new beater upgrades arrived just in time to use them on this run!
I knew the upgraded beaters would be better, but I was really surprised with how good they sound! I still play the triangle by hand when I can for more control, but the sound between my Stoessel beaters and the brass beaters with the upgrade is nearly indistinguishable."
