Drummers Walk Through the Streets of Turkey

Many Muslim traditions have been around for centuries, and this is no different in Turkey. In fact, some neighborhoods in Turkey have been following the same traditions since the Ottoman times, and they still honor this legacy today. That's because these neighborhoods have their own designated drummer who wears traditional Ottoman clothes and wanders around the streets, banging traditional drums to wake people up in time for their morning prayers.

The drum they bang is traditional, too. The "davul" has been around for centuries and has become a pillar of faith, music, time-keeping, and traditional Ramadan culture in the country.
