Try to hit the edge of the drum from behind, driving it out toward you.  Don't get too carried away banging on the side of the drum or you may bend it.  Ask me how I know ;->.  Once the drum is off I suggest drilling and tapping two new 11 mm holes in the face of the drum.  Next time you need to remove the drum simply remove the 11mm bolts that secure the drum to the hub and thread them into the new holes.  As you tighten the bolts down they will push on the hub and pop the drum off.  Slick trick somebody posted on the list eons ago.
