If the capsule is in good condition and the 10db pad is in the circuit you shouldn't have a problem.
If the drummer plays well enough to warrant the use of a KM-84 then the drummer most probably won't hit the KM-84. If you're working with a crap drummer that might hit it, then you can always aim it at the shell of the drum instead of the top of the head... or use a 57 because the drummer probably isn't worth using a mic of that caliber.
Peace.
