If I remember correctly, Jeff Porcaro and his drum tech at the time (Ross Garfield?) designed/invented the drum rack, and then Pearl put it into production. Its purpose was to make setups easier and more consistent for touring. Not sure why that would be hard to understand. Aesthetically they're not the most beautiful thing to surround a drumset with, but they do serve a purpose.
