1. Drum brakes are smaller for the same brake force.

   
   
   
   
2. The provide “self- applying characteristic” contrary to disc brakes drum brakes as a rule do NOT servo assistance.
   
   
3. Drum brakes do not warp when over heated.

5. Drum brakes can be mounted on the same hub of the wheel.
   
   
6. They are less expensive to produce.
   
   
7. Drum brakes have slightly lower frequency of maintenance due to resistance compared to disks.
   
   
8. They are built-in self energizing effect requires less input force.
