"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.

Life Saving Invention!

I'd seen glowing reviews for the Miller Machine on Facebook for years. I finally purchased one for my current musical theater production which calls for extremely quick triangle cues while play drum kit. The Miller Machine has been a life saver! I no longer need to fumble with trying to quickly grab a beater and I can now effortlessly weave in my triangle parts with the rest of my setup. I couldn't recommend it more!

Josh! Thank you for this wonderful review! Billy

Indispensable and awesome!

The Miller Machine is the single most useful piece of gear available when playing musical theatre. It allows sensitive and expressive playing at any dynamic level, using sticks, mallets, or even just your fingers. How did we ever manage before the Miller Machine?? Every percussionist needs one (or two or three)!

John, thank you for your continued support, and leaving this awesome review! Billy
