Hang your triangle horizontally for consistent playing even in fast passages.
The Horizontal Machine keeps your triangle stable and easy to control, making clean, reliable playing simple in demanding performance situations.
Perfect for front ensemble and marching settings, pit work, or anywhere you need reliable triangle access without using another hand.
Beater Options
- Brass: Warm, mellow. Ideal for softer settings.
- Stainless: Bright, clean. Best all-around choice.
- Steel: Sharp, focused. Maximum projection for louder environments.
Horizontal Arm also available separately.
Designed and built by Broadway drummer and percussionist Billy Miller. Born from 17+ years of professional pit experience.

"Fantastic"
Steve A, Seattle, Washington
"I bought the new version of the Horizontal Miller Machine, and it has worked out great. I've owned a few different horizontal mounts, and this has the best positioning for the triangle to have plenty of room to play fast double beater passages.
And of course it's still a Miller Machine too so you can use the stick to strike the beater. I appreciate all of the thought into the details that Billy has put into these machines.
They are life savers in the pit!"
