If you have verified that the adjustment is 100% compressed, you might try
taking a little off the leading and trailing edges of the linings. Maybe a
1/16", sometimes the ends protrude just a little and can cause a problem.

I wouldn't favor turning the drum just to fit it -- if it is a 10" drum that
is fairly rare and expensive metal to just scrape away.
Have you backed off the adjustment screw? This might allow for whatever
small difference you may have in the new cylinder.
