There is a class of musical genres in Turkish music meant to entertain people and urge them to dance. These are kocekce, sirto and oyun havasi. Here is a a youtube link of a clip featuring two prominent Turkish musicians playing a sirto called "Sultan-i Yegah Sirto".

Glad you liked that one. Here is a kocekce:

followed by a sad Turkish turku. The turku featured after the kocekce part is a lament for the thousands of soldiers who went to fihgt on Yemen front and never returned home. That one is also followed by short passages from various old Turkish songs.

Nice, what is that drum that looks like a saucer,jug? I've never seen that in traditional Turkish music. The Kanun is nice too. I love the kanun.

Don't have the faintest idea about what it is called. These percussionists are famed for turning everything that sounds when banged on it into an instrument. It might be either like that or maybe it is indeed an ancient drum used by the Ottomans.

There was another thread AlphaF started on Hang. It looks like this is what that is.

Quoting AlphaF:
