It is a common misconception that direct drive turntables cannot be used for DJing. It is possible to create a great DJ set with a direct drive turntable by mixing your music. The platter is driven differently in a direct drive turntable than in an ordinary turntable. The sound quality of a direct drive turntable is improved since the platter circulates more quickly. Direct drive turntables are designed specifically for DJs and feature high-quality rotors that allow very accurate playback of your music when DJing.
