Genius? Most are slammed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maestro

'genius?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'most are slammed' is the wordplay.
'slammed' indicates an anagram.
'most'+'are'='mostare'
'mostare' is an anagram of 'MAESTRO'.

(Other definitions for maestro that I've seen before include "Highly talented figure in a given field" , "Distinguished artist" , "great expert" , "Wizard" , "Rattle, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
