Drum brakes and disc brakes have different applications and performance characteristics:

Drum brakes
These brakes are durable and cost-efficient for rear wheels. They're generally better suited for lower torque, higher speed applications. Drum brakes are more economical than disc brakes, with easily available components that are cheap to manufacture. Some drum brakes require low input force to activate, and they're slightly easier to maintain due to better corrosion resistance.

Disc brakes
These brakes use calipers to grip a spinning disc, delivering better heat dissipation and stopping power. They're prevalent in front-wheel applications and high-performance vehicles. Disc brakes are technologically superior to drum brakes, offering high braking performance. They're capable of effectively stopping a vehicle even at high speeds.

Here are some other differences between drum and disc brakes:

Maximum brake torque
Disc brakes have a significantly higher maximum brake torque than drum brakes.

Heat dissipation
Disc brakes are better at managing and dispersing heat than drum brakes. This means that they experience less brake fade than drum brakes and offer a more consistent performance.

Rotor speed
The rotors present in disc brakes rotate at high speed to expel water significantly from them.
