This will work very well. It may be a little time consuming but will work. I recommend #80 paper and cut it into strips the width of the surface on the drum. You can use some spray adhesive and glue the paper to the drum and then work the shoes back and forth until you get at least 90% contact. Peal off the paper and wash off all the adhesive with acetone or lacquer thinner and that is all there to it.

This is actually very accurate and will work quite well. It just takes a little patience.
