Have a drum brake on the rear wheel of my tandem, seems to require a ridiculous amount of squeeze on the brake lever to do anything noticable on braking power.

Is there anything I can adjust/do to improve the braking? The cable is not slack etc

As constable savage said, also give the drum a light rub to get rid on any pad residue off the drums. Have found cleaning the whole lot out with brake cleaner and then wiping the drum and shoe material with celulose thinners really improves the brakes.
