What should a properly adjusted drum brake do when turned by hand?

It should run quite free. Due to drum runout, scaling or wear there will possibly be little areas where the friction material will come in contact with the drum. This is common when new shoes have not had time to 'bed in'. This 'binding' may slow the drum slightly but it should not cause the drum to lock-up or make the drum difficult to turn by hand. If the binding is exessive in places the drum screws are not seated and snug tight or there is dirt between the the hub and drum mating faces. Basically the drum is not seated flush.
