Denon or Pioneer DJ What's Your Choice and WHY? the Great Debate!

0:01 My name's Jonathan Ellaskins, also known as The DJ Tutor

Right guys, my name's Jonathan Ellaskins, also known as The DJ Tutor. Now I think this video is very important because it could help you choose the right piece of kit for you. So, is it Denon or is it Pioneer? Now I'm going to elaborate of course. Which is the best company, Denon or Pioneer? And why? Give your reasons as to why you think... Denon is far superior to Pioneer DJ or, again, give your reasons why Pioneer DJ is far superior to Denon. Now, the reason I'm doing this video is I had a chat with someone on Facebook this morning and they said that the new Prime 4 looks like Blackpool Illuminations. Is that a good thing? So, are we getting to the stage with tech where there is so much going on...

1:27 You can play a track through it

That we're losing touch with the very basics of what DJing is all about. Think about it. Behind me is a CDJ-500 Mark II from originally just Pioneer, but of course now it's Pioneer DJ. You can do a very simple loop, search through the track, search through tracks, play pause, reloop, it's got master tempo, eject, that's about it. But you know what? It plays music. You can play a track through it. Now again, we're not looking at all-in-one consoles. That is just a box standard CD player. But it's 20 years old and it still works. So think on that. Is your Denon piece of kit still working after 10 years? Is your Pioneer piece of kit still working after 10 years? Build quality. Is the build quality good?

2:48 I'm sorry, you're an absolute idiot

Are the functions great on the item you've got? Is it worth the money you paid? A lot of people say Pioneer DJ items are really expensive. Now, are they expensive based on what you get? Or is Denon DJ a lot cheaper because of what you get buck for buck, pound for pound? Give your reasons as to why you love, like and will live and only buy Denon or why you will not ever go near Pioneer DJ. On the other hand, of course, give your reasons as to why you love Pioneer DJ. You think it's the world, the gift of God and you will only buy that and not touch Denon DJ. Now don't start slagging the companies off because that's not the right thing to do. If you're going to slag them off, then you're just an idiot. I'm sorry, you're an absolute idiot. So if you're going to put a comment underneath this video, give a reason why you like, dislike or like and dislike. You love Pioneer... Oh, sorry, I'll do that. You love Pioneer DJ, you don't like Denon. Or you love Denon DJ and you don't like Pioneer DJ.

Give your reasons, tell us about what kit you've got as well. So what item have you got from those companies? Why do you like that item and maybe compare it to a similar item from the other company and give reasons why you don't like that one item but you like the other item from the company whether it be Denon or Pioneer DJ that you do like if you get what I mean. All right, videos like this are really important because over time New DJs can come into the industry and look at comments and help them make the right choice. The comments could help them because there could be 100 comments hyping up Denon DJ and 50 comments hyping Pioneer DJ and they may think, well I need to go down the Denon route or vice versa.

Do your stuff, leave a comment, practice and enjoy. Thank you.
