The Greg Voelker Rack System is a unique drum rack used by Megadeth drummer Nick Menza , David Beal, (Honeymoon Suite), Rod Morgenstein, (Dixie Dregs, Winger), Michael Foster, (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 flexability 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 80's to the early/mid 90's. Current Megadeth drummer, Shawn Drover, has a similar set up, influenced by the original "Voelker Rack System" used by Menza.
