drum brakes
These are the older type of brakes that use a drum inside the wheel; theyโre not as good at stopping fast or in wet conditions.
Drum brakes are a braking system where brake shoes press against the inside of a rotating drum to slow the vehicle; they were common in older cars but are less efficient than modern disc brakes.
