Hey Mark!

It was easy for me to list the kit I have owned. Until last year, it was the only kit I have ever owned! LoLoLoLoLoLoLoLo

[QUOTE=vintagemore2000;254977]Another thing that I have found to me with great humor are the number of members that in their Profile, state Pro drummer, and the kits that they have owned or do own. But yet we have real Pro drummers here that do not have in their profile one single thing that they are Indeed Pro's or the kits they own or did own??[/QUOTE

Not everyone lists all their gear! Before recently I didn't list any non-vintage gear. Besides the term "Pro" is not clearly defined and somewhat ambiguous, as is the term "Guru" and "Vintage" for that matter. And if we can't agree on a clearly articulated definition of any of these terms then we certainly can't debate the use of the term.

So if I define "Guru" as someone with advanced knowledge of a topic then I guess many of us are Gurus! And there is no use in debating unless we all agree on the definition of a Guru! Likewise if we do not have a clearly defined explanation of a "Pro" or "Vintage" then according to my definition I am a Pro drummer who plays vintage gear, I play out about 1-3x a week and I often play my 1994 "vintage" Yamaha Maple Custom drums at those gigs.

My Point: futile to split hairs when we don't agree on terminology!!
