About to do brakes - tools?

I'm about to do the brakes on my car. Partswise, I'm pretty much set. Toolwise, I think I am, but I thought I better make sure. Is there anything special I need, particularly for the rear drum brakes? I've only taken apart disc brakes before.

Thanks.

You'll also need a good bit of patience, and DON'T tear apart both sides until you have the first side put back together. otherwise, you run the risk of putting the shoes on upside down or something fun like that because you forget how all those little POS parts come off.
