All the velomobile drivers I know prefer drum brakes. I would want a drum drag brake on a tandem. I'm happy with disc brakes on the front of my lowracers and rim brakes on the rear. I like the light weight of rim brakes on my highracer (but I know I have to be REALLY careful in the rain.) There's a moral somewhere in this post.
