Biggest problem I see with drum brakes is when you are driving on high curvy mountian roads like we have on the west coast. By the time you get to the bottom of a long downhill road with lots of twists and turns it will be 2 feet on the brakes and lucky if you can slow down. On some of the higher mountian road if you are not carefull with your speed even newer disc/drum setup cars and truck can experience significant brake fade.
