If they arent adjusted properly you would more likely hear a slapping sound when the shoe hit the drum.

When I've heard sounds like that, something was broken allowing movement of the axle, drum w.r.t. the axle or the drum had warped and was not round anymore.

First, I'd check that drum is round - put the parking brake barely on, just enough for a tiny drag, then turn the wheel and see if it's constant through a turn. If that's OK,
I'd look for a cracked U-bolt, spring plate, shock mount, shoe nail, parking brake strut, etc.
