The forgotten drum

Saw this drum at the mosque beside the firefly tourist centre in Kg Kuantan Selangor DE. Was there to bring some visitors to watch the fireflies. While waiting for them to arrive, I went over to the mosque for Asar prayer and saw this drum hanging outside the mosque. I doubt if it is still in use. In the old days, beating the drum to a certain rhythm will be the prelude to the azan. These days, the drum is hardly seen, much less heard. Another of the forgotten past.
