I have tried it on some roasts that were dropped too early. It can turn out okay, you can go for a medium roast too. Don't expect it to taste like something done right on the first try of course. Usually I'd mix it with milk for someone who likes a bit more roasty flavor.

Not sure I understand the question exactly, but if the first try is dropped already by DE, the second try can actually turn out very nice. I have done this intentionally or to try and save a roast that didn't reach DE in a decent amount of time. Had some lucky tries, but it seems to work out either quite good or quite bad, not sure what makes the difference.

This is my most recent, with a test batch that had stalled nearing FC. This time it tasted quite poor, think Starbucks, and it looks extra wonky because the second try was with a Hive, but at least you can see that for drum-style roasters it behaves closer to a regular roast than you'd think.

It's a bit of a stretch to call it a drum, and the mass is pretty near the weight of the beans

Still, I've seen the same pattern of near normal characteristics with the Quest (with a regular, although still comparatively light drum)

198g. The roast chamber on a Hive might weigh ~50g more, but only half of it touches beans.
I got the idea to charge high from The Coffee Roaster's Companion, the 3 roasters I use have quite light drums and it usually works out nice, without any charring or tipping.
