How can you tell if u have adhd? I want to check myself

@barrolboi5105 ADHD looks different in different people. Best way to know is to ask a professional (though depending on the country, state, even individual doctors, you may have people that under diagnose you just because of things like being a woman, being good in school, having a successful career). Even though you can be ADHD and any of those things. Common signs are: really hard to focus on anything not interesting; hyperfocusing on things you love; easily lose track of time a lot; trouble learning in traditional learning/education systems; and many more

So so true! As an ADHD person who was designated gifted as a kid, it puts an unbelievable amount of pressure on you to be perfect immediately upon trying something new. Kevin, you are awesome and the whole community is so proud of you!

Drums is pretty much the best instrument if you have ADHD, from personal experience

As someone with basically the same experience, I totally agree, I just found the ability to start from basically nothing so much less daunting than any other instrument. (Also, you should play ksp again)

Cool to see you here, Matt! I saw you comment on a Spiffing Brit video recently, too :D

Matt you watch call me kevin? love to see it

As a guitarist turned bassist I can completely agree with learning all aspects of song making will help you improve. I couldn’t understand what my old drummer was talking about when he was saying that he was needing me to be intime as the bassist because I was trying to follow him. Then i learned how to play a couple of songs on drums (also adhd took for ever to learn) and then it kinda just clicked one day.

Also the song yellow by cold play and boulevard of broken dreams by Green Day is basically the same on drums lol.

No shit he just started

@@YoMama9021🤓👆

His progression is insanely slow tho. That's something you should do in about 30 min - 1 hour@@YoMama9021

Lol literally thought the same thing! Great video to show beginning students to encourage them to stick with it cause it’s hella fun

Yeah, been enjoying them a lot as well

You can't monetize it like he can and guarantee a return of investment for your time regardless of outcome, that's the difference.

@@OrgusDin I mean sure but these are just hobbies anyway and you can just dedicate like an hour of your time everyday to improve on something you genuinely like to know about

Same! I've wanted to play guitar and drums my whole life. Drums is out of the question for now, being very limited on space. But I just recently got a guitar! Have never been so excited. Started practicing and immediately got discouraged.. which I guess was expected. Seeing Kevin, or anyone really, go on and push forward is exactly what you need. Sometimes it really helps to see others' motivation to pick you back up and keep at it.

military, tactical, recording, interior design, architecture, recording, racing, artist, musical what are we missing?

@@JulesIsTallrecording?

@@JulesIsTallhe’s also a artist genius

*Hugs you!*

Same here, Kevin is our ADHD hero

same

same

Don't forget pro skater

they got a day off in the basement

Don't give him any ideas 😂

that's the next video lol

Whew... My sims also have adhd and that would kill them!

Nah thats next video

Not just drums. Piano, orchestral strings, guitar, every instrument has very similar issues to get past. The only difference between instruments is the specific variation of the same problem, really.

Yeeep hahaha was funny watching

@@Avruthlelbh I've been playing guitar for 12 years and I've found that when I get frustrated or bored its best to wait until something reignites your love for it

I still go through these frustrations now, actually makes me want to practice more remembering the start we all had

​@@andrewzvara6102sometimes that "something" is buying another guitar

You did a great job explaining it to him, And I’m shocked he can sing I had no clue.

​@@Shadow_SketchHe's done lots of singing! Not only on the main channel but be has a whole second channel for music, you should check it out!

​@@Shadow_Sketch if you were asking what his singing channel was, its "Kevo"!

@@dabordietrying Ok, Thanks. Ima have to check that out

Your explanation actually helped me figure out the sync as well! Nice job! 👍🏼

Oh no I’m taking music theory next semester and I don’t play classical instruments

​​@@starcrysis23 as someone who has been doing music related things for nearly 30 years, I totally disagree with the original post's idea that music theory is only practical for classical instruments. I do agree, that if you think of music as a language, then music theory is its grammar. And like all grammars, it is as useful as you let it be. It can give you a lot of tools, and you have to think about which tools are useful in different situations. Since music theory is often taught from a classical perspective, some of it will be less directly impactful for your own music, but I can just about guarantee that if you learn it with an open mind, you will see how even those seemingly unrelated ideas help you understand and appreciate the genres you do enjoy. It takes patience, but if you take the effort to see how it can fit into your style of music, theory will help a lot - even if it just gives you a vocabulary to talk about things in your music that you didn't know the words for before, that is a significant help in making it easier to think through your own music.

@@bricelory9534 I completely agree! I am by no means even close to being a master in music theory, but I do know it's helped me appreciate music more. I kid you not, music theory and knowledge gained from it has even been able to reach into Black Metal for me. (That sentence was a little weird in terms of wording, so I will clarify, I have been listening to black metal for a very long time, and I am trying to say that knowing music theory is still good, even in such a peculiar musical genre.)

i ahve a question.... do i need to learn music theory n that shit if i wanna becoma a rapper? or like rap in general?

@@starcrysis23 music theory is totally worth it for anything music, I had that mentality for ages until I finally decided to study music theory and eeverything is so easier now for anything musical, I wish I studied that at the start. Even for mixing a mastering, things that I do more nowadays than writing music, is way better if you know how it works "behind the scenes"

And before guitar, his beautiful voice. He's a great singer.

Yeah same here

yesss I always love "something a little bit different"

Same

Sammee ❤

That’s how I’ve done my whole job haha

I'm slowly learning how to do this, not quite there yet tho

I’ve always just done stuff my own way. It made it confusing for teachers trying to work out how I solved my maths equations.

@@rachelcookie321 You are either amazing, or this was before or in high school. Cheers anyways! Good luck!

@@mleszzor6866 what do you mean? How am I amazing?

Don't give him ideas

Judging by Kevin's skills demonstrated in the Microsoft Flight Simulator, he wouldn't need 30 days, he's ready.

Oh he can definitely fly a plane but can he land it?

Well, let's say he can get it to the ground @@Artycuno

Maybe an electronic model plane first xD

ikr this is such a wholesome video i swear🥺💓

And what if we can't quite hit that high note to end on it?

I teach flying and I always try never let a flight end on a bad landing. This is great advice.

@@youtubeuniversity3638 It doesn't have to be spectacular or anything! Just try to finish your sessions on a relatively high note for you. If you're thinking, "Hey, I feel like I'm kind of getting it!" or, "Things are going a little better now!" just try not to push on too long or overthink it. That's often a good time to wrap up and come back to it later.

@@littleferrhis This is especially true with more anxious students or more stressful activities like learning to fly! It's the partner of the "get back on the horse" axiom. If you have an unpleasant experience it's often better to try for a better one before walking away for the day, or that anxiety can really settle in over the break. I definitely found that to be true with gymnastics. Of course, a truly traumatic experience can make a high-risk activity too dangerous by lowering situational awareness. Flying is a great example there as well. There's a reason you don't just shove a crew onto their next flight after a serious aviation incident. Gotta practice good CRM and assess your mental state!

This sounds like great advice that I needed to hear (as someone who doesn't know when to stop once the ADHD takes over lol). Thank you!

*Hugs you!*

I admire you cuz you can play guitar. I have one and I tried to learn by myself but it went nowhere 😭😭😭

@@damilinot lol, I started when I was 11 and had nothing better to do than learn. I got pretty good but dropped it for a few years. When I became interested again I already had the basics down so getting really good went pretty quick

@@damilinot if you ever pick it up again you should start with those cringe songs everybody plays. your riptide, wonderwall, seven nation army, stairway, throw in a nirvana song or two, and youve got the basics down. barre chords come to us all eventually dawg

Consider drumming to some hiphop(like dre, or Timbaland beats). Classic hiphop sticks to the same pattern through the whole song, and are around your bmp comfort zone. Plus, it sounds better.

When you have adhd it is really difficult to not try new things since you get bored so easily and you get way too excited to try the new thing that your hands literally itching to start doing it. I dont know how many times that I saw a sims 3 video and instal all of the expansion pack(Which is an arduous task that takes 2-3 days because of mods,fixes and custom content) then ditching it half playthought convinced that I wont play it anymore uninstall it and forget it for a year.

seconded

id like to add that this goes for every instrument. dynamics are what separate the great songs from the good. Could you imagine karma police at the same intensity the whole way thru

You can always wear glasses and have it as a persona of your more confident, always succeeding everything self

I haven’t played my guitar in years because of my anxiety

You know I have never tried cool glasses before! 😆@@yuki97kira

*Hugs you!*

Clapping for ya, hang in there boss. Also your hair rocks I'm super jealous lol.

Download his version of this song and play it for your alarm

Fr, I was sat here like "wtf why am I tearing up??" but it's because I'm proud of him :')

@@sleepythemis yesss!!! he seemed so happy for achieving it ❤

He was such a great and lovely teacher!

it's so intimidating, but really is that easy

*Hugs you!*

ugh right 😫 has me feeling like a proud mother

@@dabordietrying I am somehow both the proud mother and the awed child

@@LilPerrin omg, exactly! you explained it perfectly

@@dabordietrying it’s like watching him grow up, go through his growing pains, and we are here now, happy to see the person he has become! #proud father of Kevin I’m even younger than him by a few years!

Also, I fully expect the Spedicey man to be proud of your progress, as he also did drumming.

*Hugs you!*

imagine the utopia we'd live in if kevin was the first best drummer in the beatles.

He is indeed a musical genius.

Wow that is crazy, so much must have changed in your life through the years of watching Kevin. You must be proud of everything you have overcame and the things you have achieved

*Hugs you!*
