I always change brake components in pairs. You may be able to get away with doing one, but I would do both.

Why do you think you have a bad brake drum?
Unless it is out of round, deeply scored or already has been machined to the maximum, you can simply have it resurfaced.
Whatever you do, be sure to replace the friction material in pairs and either resurface or replace the drums.
You can have 1 drum resurfaced and replace the bad one.

Agreed. Had brakes crack and scratch the drum too deep but only one side. They only replaced the bad drum and cleaned up the good one
