The Triangle Machine + (Plus) comes from a collaboration between Billy Miller, and Neil Grover of Grover Pro Percussion.

Beater angle adjusts from 90 degrees, for a focused sound (ideal for pit work) to 135 degrees, for creating a nice spread of overtones (great for orchestral and contemporary settings).

The position of the beater slides, side to side, to find the optimal beater balance for your particular setup.

Includes the new custom made 5/16" Solid-Body Brass Beater. Length, weight, and balance (fulcrum) all optimized to get a great sound from your triangle.

90° is great for a more focused sound - ideal for pit work.

135° gives you a nice spread of overtones - great for orchestral, and contemporary settings.

Side to Side

The solid-body brass beater slides, side to side, to find the optimal position for your particular setup.

Most helpful when the Machine is set to 135 degrees.

New Suspension Mount

"I really like this update.

There’s a safety loop just in case you have a failure mid-show and the increased stability of the hang lets your triangle stay still for manual and fast playing.

Solid improvements on an already great product."

"Damn Smart"

Just got the new machine. Thanks for incorporating the beater change I had in the back of my head, and the tilt function is damn smart.

None of the shows I'm doing this season call for a machine (Wicked and Beautiful) but I'm super glad to have it in my hands!

A Must Have

"As good as the original Triangle Machine was, the Triangle Machine Plus is even better.

New Machine & Beaters for Nat’l Tour

Sal here, writing in from the current Addams Family National Tour.

I decided to upgrade to the new Horizontal Mount and Machine Plus body. Until Billy comes up with something else, I think this is the apex of Miller Machines. Not that there’s anything wrong with the previous models. This is my third machine now, and I will still be using the others.

For this gig, I needed the flexibility that the horizontal mount provided — giving the potential to hang two triangles, a finger cymbal, and hold beaters. That paired with the Machine Plus body makes this a killer combo and a must have for any professional.

I’ve also been experimenting with the new beaters. I really love the sounds I’ve been getting out of them so far. They make my Black Swamp triangle sing with beautiful overtones, and there’s enough variety in the set to cover many different situations. Definitely grab some of these!

Thank you Sal!!! Have a great time on tour! Billy

Great Percussion Hack

I love my Miller Machine! I use it all the times for Musicals, concert band performances, and percussion ensemble pieces. Its a great part of any aspiring percussionists’ toolkit.

Worth Every Penny!

I first heard about this machine back during my undergrad, and just now got one for a pit drum set gig. Materials are very high quality, and it worked perfectly. If you haven't used one before, it does take a little practice to effectively play different dynamics, but it's awesome that this device is capable of that!

Hi Nathan, thank you for leaving a review for the Plus Machine! And thanks for your feedback on playing different dynamics, glad you were able to sort it out. Billy

Love the New Version!

I have used Miller Machines for years (original Miller Machine with the silver colored upright rod) and the finger cymbal machine. The new machine with the updated beater and tilting ability is outstanding. I’ve used it in two musical since I received it and it’s perfect. Shipping was fast - communication with Billy was great. I highly recommend.

Tim! Thank you for your wonderful review of the Plus Machine, and glad you like the new updates! Billy
