What is a brake drum?
The brake drum is a cylindrical steel component and resides in the center of the rear brake rotor, just behind its mounting surface.
The function of a brake drum
Brake drums have holes bored uniformly throughout their entire width, allowing brake fluid to be captured from the wheel cylinder found just beyond it. This device also collects all the gases produced while braking and protects shoes from rusting. To know more about how a drum brake system works checo out the below video:
What are shoes in a brake drum?
These shoes are the circular, metal discs on which the braking pad slams down during braking and is held in place by centering cylinders under each brake drum. Finally, they guide excessive fluid away from cylinder walls so that brakes stay correctly inflated.
Substitution of drums for discs
Since pretty much the beginning of time, drums are now officially on their way out despite having been standard equipment. Hybrid and electric vehicles don't have them (for that matter, neither do rear-wheel-drive cars). Even the Ford F150 is phasing it out in favor of discs. That means that there's probably a brand new car at your local Hyundai dealer with disk brakes.

PowerStop brake drums are the finest among all the ones available on the website. Some of their products give racers a noticeable stopping advantage when competing in upcoming auto shows or long, drawn-out loads from red lights. They will add slightly more cost to your purchase, but their high-quality braking surface will benefit extravagant accessories of any make of Hyundai.
Centric Premium is also worth looking at, which offers innovative brake drums that come with pre-conditioned braking surfaces and partial slotting for better aerodynamics.
