A poly V belt can be used to drive a bare drum if the drum is IIRC
10x or more the driving pulley size without a problem. There is a
good Contitech design guide for their poly v belts and it mentions
it in there. They've been doing washing machines that way for
decades.

I've been using a poly v "serp" belt in place of the flat belt on
my Logan lathe for years . And did you mean dryers ? Most every
dryer I've ever worked on used a poly v to drive the drum .
Those too and I expect many other similar items out there. I didn't
think dryer as I've never owned one, I just hang my clothes on the
line in the garden or on the radiators in the winter when wet.
We line dry too . but also have a dryer for those times the weather won't
allow hanging out ... just a note - puppies and clotheslines aren't always
a happy mix .
Someone I used to know mentioned that puppies and coat racks didn't go
well together either as when they had a bunch of friends over the puppy
did a good job of chewing the bottoms of the coats hanging on a coat
rack in the entrance hall.
