Often times the drums will not come off due to a "lip" that has built up at the edge of the drums while the shoes wear on the contact patch of the drum surface. You may need to back off the shoe self adjusters to pull the shoes back from the drum surface. Also, using some mild force from a hammer or mallet can loosen up any biding corrosion.
