How many times did you have a drummer hit ANY mic? IMO there's a much higher chance that a singer will blow up a ribbon mic or that a guitar player will knock over a room mic when going into Angus Young-mode.

And even though the chickenwire is a smart idea, I'm not sure it would help it a drummer really DOES hit the mic unless the protective cover would be ultra-strong (and therefore prpbably getting in the way of the snare thus increasing the chances of a hit)
