"Miller Machine is the Best."

Hi - my name is Dave M., I'm a drummer in Toronto Canada and I recently bought a Miller Machine at Soul Drums here in town.

It's saving my life right now, I'm playing in the pit for a production of William Finn's "Falsettos" and it was a scary amount of choreography before I got the Miller Machine.

Great idea, easy to mount and play, totally awesome.

Thanks, Dave M.

Ease of Triangle

The Miller Machine makes my triangle playing effortless. Great adjustments all the way around! The next lucky percussionist will look forward to dialing in the Machine to achieve the dynamics and touch required for those challenging passages. I am considering buying another one in order to operate two different triangles (It’s like double bass drums but triangles).

Thank you so much for your vision and craftsmanship!

Thanks, Billy!

Arron

Makin' The Most With Miller

I've just recently started playing musical theater gigs again, and a friend (who already has the whole pantheon of miller machines) recommended them wholeheartedly. I ordered it, it came quick, came with cool stickers, and a handwritten note. Plus it's just efficient and fun.

Love this, thank you Maximo! And congrats on your musical theater gigs. Billy
