Description
This is the genuine factory spare drum for the Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Rotary Tumbler, and it is a smart pickup if you clean a lot of brass. Instead of unloading, separating, and reloading the same drum every time, you keep a second one filled and ready to go. Load the clean batch out of one, drop the next batch into the spare, and get right back to tumbling. For anyone running big volumes of range pickup or match brass, that kind of workflow saves real time at the bench.
Why a Spare Drum Earns Its Keep
The big draw here is the 7-liter capacity. This drum holds up to 1,000 pieces of .223 brass in a single run, and a similar count of pistol brass like 9mm. If you shoot in volume or prefer to batch your cleaning into fewer, larger sessions, having two drums means you are never waiting on one to finish before the next pile goes in. It fits the full-size Platinum Series Rotary Tumbler exactly as the original did, so there is no fiddling or guesswork.
Built to Run Quiet and Protect Your Brass
The drum uses a dual-layer design with a molded-in rubber lining. That lining does two jobs at once: it cushions the brass as it tumbles with stainless pins and water, and it knocks down the noise so the tumbler is not rattling your whole shop. Wet tumbling with pins already gets cases cleaner than new, inside and out, including primer pockets and flash holes, and this drum is built to deliver exactly that.
What You Get With the Platinum Series Spare Drum
This is the drum assembly only, not a complete tumbler. It comes with two clear end caps and the rubber seals needed for wet tumbling, so it is ready to run the moment it arrives. Worth noting: this drum is made for the current Platinum Series rotary tumbler and does not swap onto the older-style Frankford Arsenal or MidwayUSA tumblers. If you already own the Platinum Series base, this is the exact replacement or second drum you want.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Platinum Series spare drum fit any Frankford Arsenal tumbler?
No, this drum is made specifically for the current Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series full-size rotary tumbler. It does not swap onto the older-style Frankford Arsenal or MidwayUSA rotary tumblers. If you own the Platinum Series base, this is the correct drum.
How much brass does this rotary tumbler drum hold?
The 7-liter drum is rated to hold up to 1,000 pieces of .223 brass in a single run, with pistol brass like 9mm coming in at a similar count. Keep in mind the tumbler works best when total weight stays reasonable, so for larger calibers like .308 you'll fit fewer cases. It's a true high-volume drum built for reloaders cleaning big batches.
Does the spare drum come with the seals and end caps?
Yes. The drum ships with two clear end caps and the rubber seals needed for wet tumbling, so it's ready to use right out of the box. You just need your stainless pins, water, and cleaning solution to get going.
Why would I want a second drum instead of just using one?
A spare drum lets you keep cleaning without the downtime between batches. You can load clean brass out of one while the next dirty batch goes straight into the second, which is a real time saver for anyone processing large volumes of range or match brass. It also doubles as a factory replacement if your original drum ever wears out.
