One rhythm. Infinite possibilities.
The HANDS International Drumming Festival — Kaleidoscope VIII is officially returning.
This year’s theme, “Infinite Beats”, pushes rhythm beyond boundaries — where drumming becomes energy, movement, connection, and a living pulse shared between performers and audiences alike.

Workshops
Masterclasses
Pocket Shows
Symposiums
School Outreach Programmes
…and the highly anticipated festival performances at JCPAC.
More than a performance, Kaleidoscope VIII is a full week of rhythm, culture, learning, and exchange — bringing together artists, students, audiences, and communities through percussion.
Festival Week: 29 Sept – 4 Oct 2026
Jeffrey Cheah Performing Arts Centre (JCPAC)

Camaraderie 卡玛拉德里
Every rehearsal, every heartbeat, every shared glance — this is where camaraderie begins.
Our upcoming concert isn’t just about drums. It’s about the trust between teacher and student, the bond of family, and the friendships that grow stronger with every beat.
Through rhythm, tradition finds new life, cultures meet, and communities connect.
每一次排练、每一次心跳、每一个默契的眼神——这就是情谊的开始。
《Camaraderie》不仅是一场鼓乐会。它讲述的是师徒之间的信任，父母与子女的牵绊，以及在每一次节奏中不断加深的友情。
透过鼓声，传统焕发新生，文化彼此相遇，社群因此连结。
《Camaraderie》
— where friendship becomes the most beautiful chord of art.
— 情谊，是艺术最美的和弦。

RhapsoD
RhapsoDrums was the 2nd concert held by Hands Percussion Team 2 in 2010. Established in 2005 the group has progressed tremendously and have matured into a professional percussion group. Comprising of part-time percussionists with full-time jobs, the dedication and sacrifice for their craft over these past 15 years have been incredible for the young group. They can now compose and choreograph independently and so brilliantly such as two key compositions for Kaleidoscope 6 i.e. ‘Concurrent Double-strike’ and ‘Woodland of Sound’. This has led to the upcoming launch of their very own identity, ‘RhapsoD in Drums’ in 2023 also marking their 18th anniversary with a concert of the same name. It will include compositions by the group, Jimmy Ch’ng, Olivier Tarpaga and others. Guest appearances include DeafBeat and children from Kampung Orang Asli, Batang Kali.
SAKTI
