Spay the drum from the back at the seam where the drum meets the back plate like you are trying to float that thing (WD40), tap (with a BFH) all around the back edge of the drum spraying it all he way around. Get the fluid inside the seam! Let it sit a little while to give the spay a chance.
Get your mind right...." This thing is coming off "!!!!!!!
Git'R done!

+1 if the drum rotates it's stuck either cause there is a lip the shoes are caught in, star wheel access fixes this....or

Its rusted to the axle and some heat and spray and banging and pryin is called for....(but only after the star wheel is backed off as a just in case measure...never know if the shoes are stuck in a rut in the drum till ya get the drum off)
