As to a Weber top. On the first drum I built, I just flattened the tops rim with a pair of pliers, then placed the top on the drum and formed the tops lid over the barrels rim with a rubber hammer. It worked OK. Drum #2 was treated much differently and with better end results too. Here's a link to the more involved process which may be helpful to you.
