Salonica song, "beat the drums"

Anyone know where to get staff notation for this "Selanik Turkusu" or "Calin davullari"? I'm not having much luck from the usual Turkish folk song sites.

There are a lot of YouTubes of it. This is the only one that I can see featuring the ud, a beautiful and astonishingly complex version from Necati Celik:

They vary quite a bit. I suppose I could figure it out by ear but I'd prefer to have the dots for something like what Cihat Askin plays.

Hi Jack..thanks for the links to the tunes...very cool all around, not to take anything away from the baglama/zurna band and singer but that's some seriously vintage Necati !

Regards..Paul
