Drop sets are important because they allow you to continue challenging a muscle after it reaches failure with a given weight, creating a greater training stimulus without adding more traditional sets.
Some of the key things drop sets help build: increased training volume, maximizing muscle recruitment, creates and builds metabolic stress, helps improve training efficiency and really pushes the muscles (and you) beyond traditional failure. The key to drop sets most people miss is making sure you have very minimal rest in between each set to ensure optimal muscle recruitment and time under tension.
