A friend of a friend drove about 10 miles with the parking brake 1/2 set. Noticed it when he got home and it was smoking. Chinese drums now wobble. LOL.

I’m a lacquer man myself. This is a good reminder to not leave your drums in the garage though.

I wouldn't even think warping the face of a drum would be possible since it is bolted on between the wheel and the axle.
That thing must have been glowing!!
