The most common brakes today are disc brakes. Formerly drum brakes were mounted on all cars, both on the front and rear wheels. With the appearance of disc brakes, the drum was left aside for its lower efficiency, first going to ride on the rear wheels, and then disappearing completely.

These are the brakes types:
Drum Brakes: consists of a drum rotating jointly to the wheel that has a friction material capable of braking the car when pushed against the drum.
Parking Brake: called the handbrake, it only acts on the rear wheels and serves to keep the car stopped in a parking lot.
Disc Brakes: consists of a metallic rotor disc on which pressure is exerted through the brake calipers by a hydraulic system, normally. These pads are those that are applied against the surface of the disc to generate braking force.
