The hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses hydraulic fluid, typically some type of light-viscosity petroleum oil, to transfer pressure from the controlling unit, which is usually near the operator of the vehicle, to the actual brake mechanism, which is usually at or near the wheel of the vehicle.
The most common arrangement of hydraulic brake, found on most automobiles, consists of a brake pedal, a master cylinder, hydraulic lines, a "slave cylinder", and the braking unit.

what is this kindergarten???? BRAKE!! Your question - the difference between hydraulic & hand brakes , and the difference between disk brakes & drum brakes. is this what you are refering to?? Hydraulic uses a cylinder and piston in which you press the pedal down and the piston diplaces oil inside tru tubing to the brake -- as opposed to a hand brake uses a lever on a cam to tension a cable to the brake. BRAKES disk & drum-- ok I am not going into that one..........
