No, it is only necessary if you wore your shoes down too far and scraped or gouged the drum.
Also if the shoes wore unevenly, or if it has been a really long time since they were done it would be good to smooth them out.
Feel the inside of the drum, if it is smooth with no ridges then it will be good for another set of shoes, but if you feel grooves, or a ridge on the outside then it would be better to have them turned.

I've found lots of answers to my questions on the internet so here's my 2 cents. I've had drums turned in the past at shops because it's usually around 1/3rd the price of buying new drums. Also your neighborhood brake and tire place will usually have the right equipment to do the job for you.

Can you use your brake lights and turn signals at the same time?
There is essentially no restriction on using brake lights and turn signals at the same time, as they both signal actions/intentions that are often used in conjunction with one another. The brake light signals that you are using your brakes and slowing down, and the turn signal shows your intention to turn. As you will usually slow down as you come up to a turn, there will be many situations where both signals will be on at the same time.
