emi pro, since i never had opportunity or exposure to a healthier market & envoronment to study properly, so being self taught, I can hang in many music envoronments but w/o reading skills or technical expertise, I'd say I was semo pro. But as a repairman / drum tech & instrument designer, w/ machine shop experience and a great understanding of all elements of drum construction, parts & hard ware configurations and practical applications...I am at the top of that heap. Thats my true calling. Music perf. is some thing I do for professional and personal satisfaction under the right circumstances, on Congas, Bongos, timbales, hand perc. and multi percussion set ups ( like Airto;s colorful percussion table )
