Do you you need to clean it first

I felt the need to wash it, but it can only be rinsed out at best. That is because the top doesn't come off (or not off easily). So I put considerable quantity of water in. Rolled it about and drained it into my garden. It seemed clean and not smelly, but I felt compelled to try to be sanitary.

There is a listing for pack of 1 and pack, what is a pack? is a pack 1 55 gallon drum?

From what I can make out of it, the 'pack' is simply the combination of units for sale. A 1 pack is a single drum - a 2 pack is two drums. There are other combinations of the drum and accessory packs to go with it - do some research, and you should find the same drum for around a hundred dollars, free shipping.

Does this barrel have a removable lid?

No. It has a cap and the siphon attaches to the cap. We've had these for a couple of years now and always hope we never have to use them.

What measure is a drum?

55 gallon is the top mark. Graduated in 5 gallon incrementally. At the 55 gallon mark you can put another 5 gallons in, up to the fill hole.
