I think that as off topic as this is getting Rob would like us to think outside the box so I will expand on this by saying that I like your idea combined with my thoughts. Yes, drums hold water but they are not water magnets. They hold water when they are imersed or completely saturated. In normal rainy situations drums are not ENTIRELY bad. I could envision the crossdrilled/skeleton brakes with a shoe setup that is manufactured to either have slots across the face to direct gases/water toward the backing plate (think tire sipes) or seperate pucks on them as to induce the same kind of action. I could be wrong....
