The davul is a type of two-sided frame drum found in the middle east. Cow hide is stretched over the right side and struck with a heavy beater, known in Turkish as a tokmak, for a heavy, low tone. Over the other side, thinner goat skin is stretched. This is struck with a long, thin stick, known as a çubuk, for a higher pitch. They typically range in size from 60cm in diameter to 90cm in diameter.

The davul is most commonly played with the zurna, although it can be played with other instruments and in ensembles as well. It has also traditionally been used for communication and for Turkish mehter, or janissary music.
