Thick rubber bands around the tank can help keep it from rotating off the base, as they come up against the rollers. Beseler supplied these with their roller base. Does the Uniroller have built in levelling feet? That could help keep the drum on the base. If it doesn't have levellers, you could build your own from a small board and some sort of screw/bolt/nut, adjustable furniture foot kind of arrangement.
You'd likely be the best one to answer the 9 turns question based on your results.
