The drum should be okay for parking, unless on a large incline, but then it should be put in gear, although I am not a fan of leaving the car in gear while parked.

Silly question, but are there disadvantages to leaving the car in gear when you park? I've had it drilled into my brain to put it in 1st/Reverse depending on where you're parked.
