0:00 Items that you won't need

A still from the video at 0:04

No, alright, I'll do it now. Shh! Just, just, look, bear with me. Seriously! Okay. Hi, um, earlier on today I did a video explaining the necessary items you need to become a DJ, a bedroom DJ. I'd now like to show you the items that you won't need or the items that you shouldn't really use. If you want to become a bedroom DJ, thank you. As you can see this is a table and as you can see this is a turntable. You do not need this kind of turntable. This particular table does not play vinyl nor will it play a CD. A mixer. This is not the sort of mixer you need because it could chop your fingers off. Yeah, I know, yeah, yeah, I know, yeah, yeah. Well, I know, yeah. Also, a DJ needs a set of headphones but this is not the sort of phone that a DJ needs. What was that? Speaking clock.

Don't you tell me to please hang up and try again. A DJ will also need cables to go from the mixer to the amplifier. This is a cable, as you can see, but this one's got a plug attached to one end and a hairdryer to the other. This is not the sort of cable a DJ would use. Also, a DJ needs speakers. The speakers on a television is not a good idea. So there you go ladies and gentlemen, the items you just saw are not the sort of items a person would use to become a DJ. Basically, a person would use proper disco gear, proper items necessary to mix. Watch other videos to find out what you really do need. Thank you for watching. I'm now going to do some cooking and boil my head. Practice and enjoy.
