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.
