Harry Gschoesser

Harry Gschoesser (pronounced chaw-ser) is an Austrian drummer and entrepreneur. Gschoesser was the first drummer for Racer X and an alumnus of the Musician's Institute's Percussion Institute of Technology. He only appears on the Street Lethal album and is the only foreign-born member of Racer X.

Racer X
Gschoesser was a PIT student from Tirol, Austria who was discovered by Paul Gilbert and Juan Alderete in 1985. As a member of the first line-up of Racer X, Gschoesser wrote most of the drum parts on Street Lethal. After the release of the album, his visa expired and he moved back to Austria. He was replaced by Todd DeVito, who was in the band only briefly.

After Racer X
In an interview with Mulatschag, an Austrian heavy metal publication, Russ Parrish revealed that Harry returned to Austria and introduced the country to the sex hotline (or "976") industry. According to Parrish, Gschoesser made a small fortune off of his entrepreneurial venture.

In 2011, Gschoesser founded Speedgig, a social media network for musicians and bands.
