If it is a "used" drum it could have been involved in an impact of some sort. Again if it is a used drum, it may have been "turned" or "refaced" too many times, leaving it out of "true" and too thin. If the drum again is used, it may have been heated during continued stopping and then subjected to water on the road. The drum may simply "warp" thus giving you a pulsation or unequal braking
