Well, if its a "friction" type sound, I'd check the shoes first, maybe they need adjustment. Any other signs/quirks? Does it pick up wth speed?

Dunno, Just my .02

Sounds like a build up of dust on the shoes...

Take off the drums, hit both the drums and the shoes with some 120 - 180 grit sandpaper, and be sure to clean them up with some brake cleaner when you are finished..
