What is micrometer drum?

I think you mean a drum micrometer, but I could be wrong. A drum micrometer is really a dial or digital caliper that checks the wear on a break drum on a car. The wear on a drum is on the inside of the drum and is checked by the ID (inside diameter) with the tool, a micrometer for the most part checks the OD (outside diameter) of something. The most accurate way of testing ID is with a spring loaded pin rod, then check the pin distance with a micrometer.

Why is it necessary to calibrate the ocular micrometer with each objective?

The ocular micrometer is inside the ocular lens, it will not change size when the objectives are changed. Therefore, each objective lens must be calibrated separately. Ocular micrometers have no units on them - they are like a ruler with marks but no numbers. In order to use one to measure something under a microscope, you must assign numbers to the marks. This is done by looking through your OCULAR micrometer at a STAGE micrometer mounted on a slide. The stage micrometer is just a ruler with fixed known distances, so you can use it to tell how far apart marks are on the ocular micrometer. This has to be done because the marks on the ocular micrometer are different distances apart depending on the magnification used on the microscope. It must be calibrated for each objective.
