Ideal for hand drummers, dance classes, Musical Theatre pit work, or when you need an extra hand.

Big thanks to Guido Meyer for the inspiration.

Versatile

Can be used with many types of blocks, and bells.

Tested with: Brass Lasagna Bright Bell, LP Cha Cha Bell, LP Blast Blocks, LP Jam Block High (blue), LP Piccolo Jam Block (orange), LP Sambago Blocks, Pearl Ash Tone Block (Hi Pitch), Tycoon 4" Temple Block, Tycoon Small Mountable Wood Block.

Soft and Hard

The unique Block Beater features a solid wood core with a softer outer latex layer. Played softly, it produces a warm, rounded tone; when struck harder, the inner core speaks through for a brighter, more articulate sound.

Added weight at the front improves balance and enhances articulation at higher dynamics.

New Beater Sleeve

Designed for the Block Machine, the new Beater Sleeve gives you a larger 1 inch playing surface that works great when playing by hand or with a stick.

Beater Sleeve is also available separately, and can be used on any Miller Machine.

Block Arm

With its unique "S" shape, the Block Arm easily accommodates many types of blocks and bells, making setup simple and flexible.

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.
