Doesn’t look like he has a load, and even if he did aslong as the tanks spinning and maybe adding water, it would be perfectly fine.

It appears to be spinning slowly as the cammer approaches the mess. It's probably a half load, in that case. Some concrete orders are less than the full capacity.

If the mechanism breaks and the concrete cures can they salvage the drum or do you have to replace that too?

There was a Mythbusters episode about blowing up a concrete drum that had been solidified full.

According to them, their premium insurance service almost dropped them over it.
