Vibration under braking??

I'm getting this vibration while braking but it doesn't do it all the time like a warped rotor, only happens from 35mph down to bout 20mph, feels like it's coming from the rear and feels more like a side to side vibration. I have never warped or cracked a drum before so i'm not sure what that feels like compared to a rotor, could this still be the case? any ideas?

Sounds like rotors, calipers, or wheel bearings.
