If you're going to use the drum to burn in remove both ends like this one.
For the top end simply remove one of the caps/plugs and insert the saw blade through the hole and go to it.
No drilling chiseling hammering or hacking required.
For the bottom I drill one hole large enough to get A jig saw blade through and make a cut long enough to get the saws all blade through then switch from jig saw to saws all and finish it up.
Only one drilled hole and again no other drilling chiseling hammering or hacking required.
