The role of the brake drum is to slow the wheel down. The brake drum is a cylindrical component in a drum brake system that houses the brake shoes. When the brake shoes are pushed outward by hydraulic pressure, they press against the inner surface of the brake drum, creating friction that slows down the wheel.
