No .. they may have grown and gotten more consistent, but there is no way to assume they got better. The problem is the DJ is jaded by what they believe worked and didn't work, same as a teacher. Sometimes, that means they get better and sometimes it means they just reinforce their own biases and bad habits. All I'm saying is there is no way to know or tell by how many gigs they do.
Myself no, have I been in situations where I was teaching, yes. I also work at a university and throughout my time running around this campus, I've had a great many friends who have gone into education.
On the subject of education and teaching, let's take your proposition:
DJ A: 100 events per year and as such 100 chances to make and learn from mistakes
DJ B: 25 events per year and as such 25 chances to make and learn from mistakes
You propose that DJ A is superior because of the amount of times he has to practice in front of a live audience.
In your proposition you haven't mentioned anything about the events, but for the sake of argument, we'll say they are the same category of event, a wedding reception.
We know that no two receptions are the same because the bride, groom and guests are not the same, venue can be different, musical tastes can be different and the other vendors can be different.
With all the variables in this last statement alone (let's not even worry about the other myriad of variables out there), your proposition is in trouble.
Instead of going through the rest of this, let's just jump to the summary portion, shall we?
With so many variables being involved, it is easy to construct scenarios which will show DJ A or DJ B having more learning experiences than the other and some where they could end up having the same amount of experience.
Unless you can show concrete evidence that can stand up to scrutiny, your claim is not valid.
In simpler words, Cesar, your assumption about a DJ doing 100 events being better than a DJ doing 25 events is just that, an assumption.
This is all i need to refute your thoughts. The best teacher is on the Job Experience so simply put the more you do the better you become.
Sorry Steve
I'm just not buying what your trying to sell me. No DJ with just 25 events under his belt will have experienced and gained the same type of knowledge that a DJ who has completed 100 events has gained. Somewhere during that imaginary event the DJ with the 100 events under his belt will be able to draw on his experience that the 25 event DJ hasn't encountered yet.

your cracked Arnoldo,, Oops I meant Cesar, I mean Joaquin, If DJA works 25 high end totally detailed MC/DJ and games etc multi cultural weddings and DJB does 100 weddings at the Moose Hall no MCing no games straight up Mobile Beat top 200 list Crowds at weddings Im going to say DJA will be miles ahead.
Second scenario
DJA has a gift and is very intuitive and innovative and does 25 Weddings and knocks his clients sox off packed dance floors every gig and 100's of referrals.
DJB plays off a cheat sheet provided by his client follows the Mobile beat top 200 start to finish for all 100 he in fact is perhaps stagnant and gains no referrals.
Your saying this straight out no gray areas. I see plenty and this was just a small example of the scenarios which flaw your brash and bold statement.

Tonight was one of my wedding receptions over the 2000 mark completed by me and I got to play a song for the Step Father of the Bride that I had never heard before. Experience comes with events performed everything else is a poor substitute.
Ah young grasshopper......But the 100 event year DJ will realize it quicker and be able to recover quicker then the 25 event year DJ.
Now you must return back to your studies and re read the chapter on the art of dueling with Cesar.
You have done well my student, but a master you are not......yet!
LOL

I believe that is called "Time to bang my head against the brick wall one more time".
But Cesar, it all depends on how swift the 100 event DJ is. Even the most seasoned veteran can make the same mistakes time and time again without learning from them. A young pup may only make that mistake once.
I would love to come down to Cali and experience your goods. I think it would most likely make me laugh or cry. Dealing with Cesar? Pshaw...... Whatever, you have nothing seriously.
