The Triangle Machine Plus is the result of a collaboration between Billy Miller, and Neil Grover of Grover Pro Percussion.

Designed for modern percussion setups, the Triangle Machine Plus lets you play the triangle accurately and consistently without sacrificing sound or control. Set it and forget it, reliable performance night after night.

Beater angle adjusts from 90° for a focused, direct sound, ideal for pit work, to 135° for a wider spread of overtones suited to orchestral and contemporary settings.

The beater position slides side to side, allowing precise placement within any setup.

Beater Options

  • Brass: Warm and mellow. Ideal for softer musical settings.
  • Stainless: Bright, clean, and consistent. The best all-around choice.
  • Steel: Sharp and focused. Maximum projection in louder environments.

Arm Selection

  • Regular Arm: For triangles up to 7".
  • Plus Arm: For triangles 8" and larger.

Designed and built by Broadway drummer/percussionist Billy Miller.

The Miller Machine system is fully modular, mix and match bodies and arms to build your ideal performance setup.

Note: A Triangle Arm is included with every Triangle Machine Plus, no need to order it separately.

More information below.

Not included: mount, or triangle.

90 to 135

Beater angle adjusts from 90 degrees to 135 degrees.

90 degrees is great for a more focused sound, ideal for pit work.

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

Side to Side

Beater slides, side to side, to find the optimal position for your particular setup.

Most helpful when the Machine is set to 135 degrees.

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."

What Players Are Saying

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

This is a 'must have' not only from a Musical Theater perspective, but also a Symphonic perspective."

"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!
