The Greg Voelker Rack System is a unique drum rack used by former

FireHouse, and Whitesnake drummer Tommy Aldridge

. It was designed for its lack of stands, which serves for a flashy live look and prevents a drummer/band from knocking over cymbal/drum stands. Designed by Greg Voelker, the rack was made out of Stainless Steel and was attached to a built in riser which allows the bass drums to float. Thereby, giving the drummer more mounting flexibility as well as avoiding the clutter of stands on stage. The racks mentioned were custom made for each drummer. A "Standard" rack by Greg Voelker was distributed through Premier drums from the late 1980s to the early to mid-1990s.

Former

Mickey Hart Band, Jeff Rich of Status Quo, John Tempesta of Testament, Alex Van Halen, and Victor Wilson, aka Beatmaster V of Body Count
