A thought that i had is quite similar although looking back at the mug now you might have a problem at the front where the eyebrows are. I'm thinking if you carve a groove/channel around the top about 1cm down which would would be deep enough to allow the thickness of a silicone swim cap and a rubber seal to fit and hold it tight. (The rubber seal is black and used to make things air/water tight. We call them O-Rings here, not sure if you guys use the same name :)). The way i see it, although you would have to do it every time you made a drink it would at least be easy to put on/remove the drum skin. You'd just need to make a groove somewhere, maybe one on each side, that allows you to get your fingertips into to pry off the O-Ring.
