Overview

In The Wild

Why didn’t I think of that...

"No questions, just wanted to tell you what a great idea you had. I played most of the National Tours that came through Orlando and Tampa from 1990 thru 2020. I first heard it when Mary Poppins came through. I couldn’t figure how the drummer made the mallet switch and played 16th notes, he used two. It was a 'why didn’t I think of that moment'. I’m glad you did!
Thanks, Chuck. from my iPhone

How did you hear about The Miller Machine?: Word of Mouth
Best percussion accessories ever!

I have purchased both the triangle machine and the finger cymbal machine. Both are FANTASTIC. Best money I have ever spent.
Billy is an awesome guy! I had the pleasure of meeting him and touring his shop when I happened to be in Seattle and was able to pick up my newest purchase in person. It was great! Billy is so personable both online and in person. He loves what he does and loves working with all his customers. I look forward to seeing BF him the next time I’m in Seattle. Such a fascinating fellow.

Gretchen! So nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by the shop, and thank you for this wonderful review! Keep in touch. Billy

The Finger Cymbal Machine is nothing short of amazing!

You won't believe how much the Finger Cymbal Machine revolutionizes playing this instrument in the pit! Juggling the drum and percussion book for a musical can be challenging, but with this innovative machine, you can manage it all effortlessly. The Finger Cymbal Machine brings ease to playing the instrument, no matter how many other things are happening. Having already experienced the convenience of the Triangle Machine, choosing the Finger Cymbal Machine was a no-brainer.

Wonderful! So glad you're liking your new Finger Cymbal Machine. Thank you Ken! Billy

Miller Machines Must Have

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.

Wonderful! Thank you David. All three at once, love it!!! Billy
