My mixer is a little larger.
I use water, steel pins.
I've replaced the mixing blades in the drum with PVC tubing to stir things up a bit.
My drum leaked, so I sprayed it with urithane 'Bed Liner' for pickup trucks, and stuck down some heavy 'Plastic' to keep the biggest part of the drum from chipping.
Same plastic on a roll that's used for flexible cutting boards on counter top.
Mine dumps into a 'Laundry Tub', 1/4" screen stops brass, just below heavy 'Window' screen stops pins, water down the drain.
Screen over the drain, just in case...
A company named 'Cap Plug' makes large plastic covers for the mouth & an eBay 'Hose Clamp' (worm screw band) keeps the cap on,
Some holes drilled in the cap lets the drum drain when I'm changing water/cleaner,
A cap with no holes keep dust from escaping when I'm using dry media for polishing.
Runs MUCH quieter than vibratory cleaner, when I change motor/gear reduction box I may speed it up a little...
Again, eBay is full of motors and gear reduction boxes when needed...
