The drum comprises a plurality of substantial identical tubular mid-section drum members, a bottom drum member, and a top drum member. When connecting the drum members to each other, an inner wall having an outer surface being adapted for rotation in contact with a corresponding inner surface of the outer wall, the inner wall comprising a plurality of conduits is provided. During rotation of the drum, the conduits can be brought into and out off fluid communication with the nozzles in order to provide passages between the port and the nozzles.
