A discussion among Vietnamese archeologists and the writer will also be held to discuss Vietnamese Đông Sơn bronze drums. "To give to the readers and possible visitors some keys to understand and hopefully join me to become a Bronze Drums’ lover,” he said. De Guerny said the book is dedicated "to the Southern Barbarians, genial creators of the bronze drums of Southeast Asia." In his book, the expert said around Guangxi, China and the mountains of Tonkin (Việt Nam), early bronze drums were developed until now but forgotten elsewhere. He said his trips to Việt Nam gave him opportunities to meet people who supported him greatly in his work.
