The Miller Machine is the indispensable tool for any percussionist or drummer who needs to play multiple small percussion instruments either simultaneously or in the span of a measure, whether by necessity (Broadway & Musical Theater-Orchestral/Symphonic players) or by creative choice (any percussionist or drummer or musician really who wants to add in certain accents and colors, while also holding down a groove and driving any sort of band or ensemble!)
I use this device frequently in the Retro CCM band I play in and the guys and I LOVE being able to incorporate triangle seamlessly in my drumset playing, without having to put down a stick!!

Billy has created a product that really makes sense.
Great work.

This improved version is a huge step up. Much more adaptable, and capable of a variety of triangles and more.

Outstanding mallet. Versatile with a perfect weight

A invaluable tool for the percussionist. Whether theater, orchestral, multi percussion, front ensemble, anything!!!, the Miller Machine makes the job easier and sounding great.

Whether you are still in school, a weekend warrior, or a professional player, The Miller Machine is truly unique and totally useful in any percussion setup.

I've been the Drummer/Percussionist for a regional summer musical theater organization for the last 25 years, and it's becoming increasingly rare that I don't have at least 1 Miller Machine in my set up. I now own 4 of these devices (Finger Cymbal, Block, and 2 Triangle Machines). Thank you Billy Miller for making life in the pit so much easier!

Just happened across these guys while looking at something else, and likely one of the best finds ever!! So many times I've had to forego or miss a triangle part due to not having the time to switch beaters to sticks of vice-versa. The Miller Machine eliminates that problem, yet still leaves the triangle exposed to play a "roll' with a seperate beater if needed!! Great product, works fantastic. Like I said, just buy one for yourself!!!

How did we manage before the “Miller Machine” came along. The products are brilliant yet simple . Well made and so easy to use. From ordering online from a very clear website to delivery to the UK everything was easy and on time to the day. As they say I never leave home without it now small but essential part of all my set ups large or small. Thanks Billy !!!!

Billy’s customer service is top notch! He promptly and kindly helped me out when I wanted to upgrade to the brass beater. It’s worth every penny and I’m grateful for the install tutorial video!

Used my new Miller Triangle Machine Plus for two different show productions in the first few weeks of owning it, and I already count it as one of the best investments I've made in equipment. A well thought-out, well engineered, and well-made product that is now an essential part of my gear kit. Highly recommended!!!

The best products ever!

Outstanding cymbal addition. Just enough dissonance to set it apart, yet with enough laser tone to cut thru.

The Miller Machine came to my attention when a drummer on a show came through my theatre. It solves both the problem mounting a triangle and playing it without the hassle of traditional methods. No more spring clips or hunting for the beater. The Miller Machine gives a consistency of chime with every tap of the mechanism.

The Miller Machine and the new Block Machine are game changers for the working percussionist, and in the high school or collegiate ensemble. Thank you!

We have to give our customers at Studio Instrument Rentals (S.I.R.) what they want! The customers have been asking for the Miller Triangle Machine and they now can rent one anytime they're in NYC - thanks for the speedy shipping Billy!

Such a convenient and beautifully simple device - thank you!

I couldn’t be happier with this invention and my purchase. It’s so easy to mount and adjust angles as necessary for different setups. Game changer in my musical theater life! Even if I have time to pick up a beater, it’s great to have my triangle mounted in a convenient spot instead of trying to hang it off of a stand and out of reach. With the Miller Machine, it stays put, no swinging around. I ordered the basic model because I needed it in a pinch and the pro model was out of stock but after having used the pro model from a friend, I’d definitely recommend that one for the brass beater and extra angle adjustments.

This device saved my life for the most recent musical! I love it. Every percussionist should own one.

This Horizontal Mount worked out perfectly for me. It was the perfect size, and being able to suspend my triangle securely on a cymbal stand was far superior to hanging it from a clip on the stand. It kept the triangle from moving while playing, without dampening the sound. Highly recommended.

Once again, Mr. Miller has created a great machine for the multi-percussionist. This simple, well made product, is extremely helpful with or bell/block passages in which stick/mallet changes are not possible. Easy to mount and very adaptable.

Tho, not the same one making this brilliant, functional and oh so accessible Triangle assistant. I love it!

The various machines are essential for most modern musicals, as well as for any number of other applications - multiple percussion setups, the phone bell for “Pennsylvania 6-5000” with any big band, etc.
Not to mention, Billy is just about the nicest small business owner you’ll ever meet.
Excellent products, excellent customer service!

I recently had the opportunity to play a show that required a really fast transition from one instrument to a triangle roll. The Miller machine worked perfectly in this context. Above everything else not only does it create convenient transitions, but it is durable and establishes a really great sound on the triangle as well. I highly recommend this product!

I am a teacher and Timpanist /Percussionist in 6 regional orchestras. I ordered this because I’m starting to do Theatre Shows for the first time in many years and I find that it’s a necessity. i ordered one for Triangle, finger cymbal and Block/Cowbell and I’m glad I did because I’m using all 3 for this months show. This device just makes sense and and It’s a must have for any professional working percussionist.
