This is NGR (Not GS related), but I have a vehicle with drum brakes.   One drum brake pulses, but I thought only disc brakes pulsed?

Yes. A drum can get out of round. Or it can develop rust on one side if left sitting for a long time. You can have the drum machined if there is enough material left in it. That will cure the problem. Might as well replace the brake shoes while you're in there.
