Does your Violet drum have a pair of M8 holes opposite each other between the studs? If you haven't tried using these to push the drum off that may work. Sometimes shocking the drum in by hitting it between the studs can break the hold. Soak around the centre and the stud holes in CRC? Have you backed off the shoes?
All the best.
