The drum and motor spin ok for the distribution speed (when load
balancing). Does this rule out the brushes and/or motor that could be at
fault? I thought that if the brushes were worn then the motor will not
turn at all?

Not neccesarily, with worn brushes the motor will sometimes turn at
low speeds, but it can't cope with high speeds.

And while i'm here, what exactly do the brushes do?!

Basically, they conduct the power onto the commutator in the motor. If
they stop working then there is no power to it.
I'm sure there's a website somewhere explaining it somewhere.
This one - http://science.howstuffworks.com/motor1.htm - for a start
maybe?
