Last time I went to my mechanics though they used a tool which is a long rod with a sliding weight. The bolt the rod to the wheel studs and slide the weight on the rod away from the car which pulls the drum off the car.
or beat the snot out of it with a hammer. :P

That's called a slide hammer.

Try releasing the parking brake first. Should make it easier.
