I have seen a professional percussion player make some incredible sounds with a triangle. He's the only one though. 

Did he drop it down a flight of concrete steps?

Not exactly, more like really high speed playing with variable left hand muting creating a kind of phase/flange effect.

Kind of like triangle through a Wah pedal.

This guy is an amazing percussionist, possibly the best I have ever seen.

That sounds like something worth hearing at least once.

To be fair it's a role I know nothing about but I'm guessing that all orchestral triangle players are skilled in other percussion type instruments which they use in that orchestra?

Some Zydeco bands make liberal use of a triangle.  Other than that,  mostly symphonic percussionists.  You think it's easy counting 156 measures of rest and then coming in on exactly the proper quarter note written by some dead guy?  Those guys deserve a medal.
