Recently changed brake drums and pads. After releasing the brakes, wheels make a little rattling noise and low traction light comes on and off while driving at a low speed. (When it is fast, I cannot feel it)

the rattling might mean you left them loose.
if you here odd noise you shouldnt drive it till you fix it. or youll end up messing something up that will cause more damage.

Did you correctly bleed them. You start with the back passenger side, then the back drivers side, then the front pass. side, and then the front drivers side.
drum brakes require adjusting after replacing the brake linings.. on the bottom of the backing plate there is a star wheel adjustor.. you use a brake spoon . insert it into the hole that was covered by a rubber plug.. turn the star wheel until you feel a drag on the drum i turn it so the rear tire turn one half a turn and stops.. front wheels i turn.. ok.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake
read this two times.. buy a brake spoon .and a jack set if you dont have one.. do as i advise and you will stop safely ok.
