What is a DJ Turntable?

What's up! What's up! Up in the studio right now. How you leaving this is Corey Black aka the Turn Tables on behalf of Expert Village. Right now we are going to do chapter one introduction to equipment. What we have right here is the mixer no pretty much the standard mixer, good action on the cross fader, everything like that, you know high, miss, trends and all that stuff. We got the turn table right here. Pretty much a 1200 you know the one that you need to scratch with. We have the slip mat you know you want a nice slip mat. You have the slippery mat so those turn tables and the record and everything works really good. Move on to the needle right here make sure you got a good needle. We are going to move onto the record. You want to make sure when you scratching on records that you have some of the lightest records that you could use cause it is better you know to back cue and every thing like that. So on behalf of Expert Village this is Corey Black thank you.
