you need to replace your brake pads. if you don't, in due time, they will wear down and put grooves on your rotors and that is NO bueno.

No. The brakes are applied manually. A brake band squeezes a brake drum.
How do you test a slack adjuster?
Assuming we are talking about "S" cam air brakes on a truck, check the angle at the end of the slack adjuster to the actuator rod coming out of the air brake can when brakes are applied, it should be 90 degrees, if the slack adjuster is manual adjust it with the brakes not applied and then test again. If they are automatic slack adjusters and you do not have 90 degrees with brakes applied it is worn out or not installed correctly.
What are the signs of worn brake pads?
Increased stopping distances ... a slight high pitch "ringing" when the brakes are applied (this is a metal post that is coming into contact with the rotors). Disk brake pads should last for about 60,000 miles ... drum brake pads, 40,000 ... taking into consideration that the application and use of the brakes is normal and not having to slam on the brakes for each and every stop.

The power brake booster is leaking vacuum and that makes the engine die when the brakes are applied. Replace brake booster.

Is brake calipers necessary for brake drums?
There are no calipers used with brake drums. Brake drums work with curved brake pads pressing against the inside circular surface of the drum when the brakes are applied. These pads are held in place and pushed by a spring and lever assembly that is mounted to a steel plate attached to the wheel or axle of the car. This plate does not move. Calipers are used with disc brakes to hold the brake pads on both sides of the disc brake and to apply them against the disc when the brakes are applied.
