It could mean two things, a drop down deck, or just drop deck, which means the foot platform is lower then the truck mounting. For example the Rayne Nemesis, or Landyachtz Evo. Or it could mean a drop through deck, which means the trucks are mounted on top and the hangers extend through the board. For Example the Rayne Hellcat, or Landyatchz Drop Speed.
You can also combine the two to have a drop down drop through mounting board, or double drop. The Rayne Demonseed incorporates both of these
The point of both these types of longboards is increased stability at speed, an added bonus of the drop down deck is it makes a "gas pedal" as its called, which simply means the slope in the wood from the foot platform to the truck mounting helps lock in your feet while sliding and tucking at speed.
Look up pictures of the boards I mentioned above, a picture can explain far more simply then I can.
