创作、沉淀、再创作一直是艺术总监周顺兴秉持着的理念。

这一次，以2011年作品《记·一个时代》作为蓝本（此作品与与循人中学历届鼓手共同创作），并举办了两次在籍学生鼓手交流营《启航》，而萌生了“经典”演奏会的念头。

通过这样的平台，我们希望各鼓队能重新整理历届的经典创作或（较为成熟地）全新创作，让作品渐渐提升其艺术价值，并得以流传下去，让更多人看见。

创作概念：

1988年，陈徽崇音乐家与陈再藩诗人开创二十四节令鼓文化表演，

此后各校鼓队纷纷成立，马不停蹄地创作，为这个新兴文化注入养分。

经过28年的岁月, 

究竟在这个快速发展的年代，有多少部作品经得起时间考验？

究竟在这个多元文化时代，鼓手留下了什么经典？

以《咚哒击》演奏会，寻创作、记经典。

走进剧场，一探二十四节令鼓多年来累积的力量。

魅力何在？
 

ORIGIN
Artistic director Boyz Chew Soon Heng consistently stands by the principle of "create, allow to sink in and precipitate, then recreate".
This time, using “The Era” (this 2009 composition was co-created together with former drummers of Tsun Jin High School) as a blueprint, two drumming camps were held under the heading “Journey to D'March” for secondary schools and universities, which led to the idea of a "classics" concert.

Through this platform, we hope that each drumming group can re-organize their past works of classics or (more matured) all-new creations, gradually bring up the artistic value of these pieces, in an effort of preservation and continuity, all while reaching more audiences.


CONCEPT
In 1988, musician Mr Tan Hooi Song and poet Mr Tan Chai Puan conceived the 24 Festive Drums cultural performance.
Since then, drumming groups began to form in schools, nurturing and refining this newly emerged culture through their continual efforts of creating and composing.

28 years later,

in this high-speed developing era, how many of these compositions can stand the test of time?
In this multicultural era, what do the drummers leave behind as classics?

Through "Dong Dak Beat" Drumming Concert, compositions are discovered and classics are recollected.

Walk into the theatre and discover for yourself the power of the 24 Festive Drums--accumulated over the years.
What could be its appeal, its charm?
