Too much heat would result in brake damage, which is absorbed in the brake drum.
The main types of brakes are disc brakes, drum brakes, and regenerative brakes. Disc brakes use calipers to squeeze pads against a rotor to create friction and slow down the vehicle. Drum brakes use shoes to press against the inside of a drum to generate friction. Regenerative brakes convert kinetic energy into electrical energy to slow down the vehicle.
Disc brakes use calipers and pads to squeeze a rotor to slow down a vehicle, while other types of brakes, like drum brakes, use shoes that press against the inside of a drum. Disc brakes are generally more efficient, provide better stopping power, and are easier to maintain compared to other types of brakes.
The skin of the drum vibrates to produce sound.
When a drum is struck, the impact creates vibrations in the drum head and shell. These vibrations travel through the air inside the drum, creating sound waves that we hear. The shape and material of the drum can affect the way the sound waves travel and the tone of the sound produced.
Friction is useful in brakes because it converts kinetic energy (movement) into thermal energy (heat), which helps slow or stop a vehicle by creating resistance. When the brake pads press against the rotating brake disc or drum, the resulting friction generates heat that dissipates energy and slows down the vehicle.

What about 1993 Pontiac drum brakes, please be specific.
This will greatly depend on what kind of brakes you have and which parts you are trying to replace. Do you have disc or drum brakes? If you have disc brakes, do you want to replace the calipers, pads, or rotors? If you have drum brakes, do you want to replace the drum, or the shoes?
Drum brakes.
No. Drum brakes expand inside a rotating drum to stop the vehicle, disc brakes squeeze in against a rotating disc.
The rear brakes on a 1984 Chevy truck are drum brakes.
Only the rear brakes are drum brakes. The front brakes are disc brakes. To answer your question, twist the end wing nut by your drum brake. It tightens and adjusts how much you have to press on your rear brake lever.
Disc brakes and drum brakes.
No, they are inferior to disc brakes. Drum brakes were used from the beginning of the auto up until the late 60s. Drum brakes are more prone to overheating than disc brakes. Disc brakes also shed water much better than drum brakes which improves stopping distance in wet conditions. Disc brakes apply pressure more evenly than drum brakes thus improving stopping distance. Disc brakes are superior in every way.
A 1996 camaro has the same DISK brakes as a 2001. It does not have drum brakes.
Disc brakes may have been an option but it would normally come stock with drum brakes.
Drum brakes do not have the stopping ability of disc brakes, so no not harder, but slower.
