I just bought a drum last week with the same type of coating. I did a burnout, but living in town, I couldn't get a fire big enough to take all the paint off without bringing in the fire dept. On the bottom 1/3 of the drum it was mostly off, and the rest was black. A wire brush on an angle grinder took care of most of it, but you're back will hurt from the bending in the drum. I ended up putting the top of the drum on some bricks so i was able to kneel down and lean into the drum. That definitely made things more comfortable.
