Differences Between Drum Brakes and Disc Brakes

[Claudia]

The differences between drum brakes and disc brakes are as follows: 1. Different shapes: Disc brake pads (also called brake discs) are divided into two types, ordinary discs and ventilated discs, with a disc-shaped appearance; Drum brakes have a cast iron component that closely resembles a tambourine, called the brake drum. 2. Different applications: Disc brakes are generally mainly used in mid-to-high-end cars, while drum brakes are usually used in ordinary cars. 3. Different reaction speeds: The disc brake system reacts faster, while the drum brake system reacts slower.
