Of 100 drums, 99 have two dragons and the line: “Thang Long – Hanoi’s Great Anniversary.” The remaining drum, the largest, has 1,000 dragons on it and was used during the Ly dynasty. The Hanoi People’s Committee presented the drum.

The 99 bronze drums weigh between 55-60kg, with a height of between 48cm and 60cm. The remaining drum is 79cm high and 1m in diameter.

Thanh Hoa’s craftsmen cast the bronze drums, using traditional methods, dubbed the designs of ancient bronze drums excavated in Ngoc Lu, Quang Xuong, Hoang Ha, and Song Da.

Another ceremony was held on August 29 at Hanoi’s Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature) to receive the drums.

These bronze drums will be beaten only one time during Hanoi’s 1000^th anniversary. After the anniversary, they will be presented to 63 provinces and cities and 37 outstanding individuals and organizations.

The casting of the drums began on December 2009.
