A 55 gallon drum is just a cylinder and, as such, the volume can be determined by the formula ¶r2h (Pi times radius squared times height). According to Wikipedia, standard 55 gallon drums are 22.5 inches in diameter and 33.5 inches high.

The equation is thus 3.14 * 11.25^2 * 33.5. That comes out to 13313 cubic inches or 7.7 cubic feet.
