Beater Options

Essential tool for multi-percussionists and pit musicians. Customers praised its "brilliant design," versatility, and "flawless construction." Enables quick instrument changes for musicals and multi-percussion setups. One shopper noted a desire for heavier triangle beater options. Outstanding customer service consistently highlighted.
A solid tool and a must have for any pit drummer. Thanks Billy for the exceptional product and service.
Thank you Jim! Looking forward to seeing the show again up in Everett. Billy
A must have for any multi percussionist! Billy is a true innovator who is constantly finding new ways to improve his products.
Bob, thank you for your kind words, and continued support! Billy
Love this machine!!!! I’ve used it for Wicked, Sarah Brightman, Swan Lake, Celtic Woman, and any other show that needs a quick instrument change. Thanks Billy!!!!
Thank you Chris! Billy
Not only is this a “must have” for anyone doing musicals, but it is also an incredible addition to any multi percussion setup. Coupled with the fact that Billy Miller is an amazing human being, EVERYONE should have at least one of these in their bag of tricks.
Thank you DGL! Really appreciate the kind words and support. Billy
I’m a pit musician for a Middle school theater group and as a once a year gig, it’s not typically a high pressure situation but this year it crept up on me and I needed a solution for a show with a lot of triangle/snare/hi hat combos and the Miller Machine delivered perfectly. Precise 8th notes with brushes or sticks; I never missed a beat. I highly recommend it! You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you David! I really appreciate your support! Billy
Look no further than the magic of the Miller Machine! Whether it is a multi-percussion setup or a drum set excursion, the convenience of Billy's contraption cannot be understated. Get yourself a few for your percussion tool chest, you will enjoy every resonant note!
Thank you Taylor! Billy

great service
Hi Kevin, Thank you for your support! Billy
The Miller Machine excels in design and versatility. Billy Miller's outstanding customer service ensures a seamless experience. Quality, flexibility, and effectiveness guaranteed.
Alan, I'm glad it's worked out for you, and thank you for leaving this awesome review! Billy
Brilliant design. Flawless construction. The finest materials. And the best customer service. Is there anything else you could ask of any product? I don't think so.
Hi Jeff, Love this! Thank you! Have fun on tour. Billy
The Miller Machine Body is very constructed and works very well.
I would like the option of a heavier triangle beater to play louder passages.
Thank you Russ! And I appreciate your comment about a heavier beater. It's easy to change the beater on your Machine so you can use any size of your favorite Black Swamp, Dragonfly Percussion, Freer, Grover Pro, Stoessel, etc... Works with any triangle beater that has an 1/8' rod. Link to YouTube video below. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Billy https://youtu.be/L6RHRMTQYqc?si=M0JPVCPjZHJNlhHx
I broke a piece off the body of my Miller Machine bc I tend to throw stuff in a bag and it gets knocked around so when Billy said he had a couple of bodies at discount bc they had minor cosmetic damage I jumped on it. I love my Miller Machines and use them in nearly every show I do. I’m also keeping the box so I can transport it more safely from now on 😉
That's wonderful Liz... glad it worked out for you, good timing :) Thanks for the review! Billy

This purchase is my fourth Miller Machine body (three original and one Grover) - essential for pit work, excellent response with slow or fast rhythms; customer service has always been fantastic!
Thank you for your recent purchase Jeff, and thanks for the awesome review!
