A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating cylinder-shaped part called a brake drum.

The term drum brake usually means a brake in which shoes press on the inner surface of the drum.

As the shoes in drum brakes wear, the brake usually has a self-adjusting mechanism. Drums are prone to brake fading with repeated use.
