The Miller Machine

About this time last year, I was asked to make a promo video for the Miller Machine. My video was cut together with videos from a bunch of other amazing percussionists, which you can watch here. Today, I am happy to share with you my full video that I created with the help of my wife (and cat). We had a lot of fun making this!

If you aren’t familiar with the Miller Machine, you are probably not a percussionist who performs in musical theater. Easily one of the most important percussion innovations of the last 50 years, the Miller Machine allows you to play triangle without having to fumble around for a beater. This is especially handy during a quick change situation. For example, you can be playing timpani with your fluffiest of mallets and execute a perfectly sounding triangle note a beat later without having to put down your sticks and grab a triangle beater. It’s easy to position in any type of setup and is small enough that it can fit in your stick bag when you’re on the go. If this could be of use to you, head over to Billy’s site and grab one for 10% off your first order!
