Answer 1

Answer:

percussionist , vocalist

Answer 2

Answer:

A great performer, especially a musician - Maestro.

Explanation:

A performer is usually called an artist. But an artist does specify the degree of performance. An artist is rather a generalised signifier. On the other hand a ‘maestro’ is an exceptional performer especially with respect to music. He supersedes all other performers.  

For example Mozart and Beethoven were maestros of Western Classical Music. Pandit Ravi Shankar was the sitar maestro. Ustad Bismillah Khan the shehnai maestro. At present Ustad Zakir Hussain is the tabla maestro. All these performers are stalwarts of the music world.
