So my process would be to (using the transient of the kick as a guide) tab to the first measure of the song and, using Identify Beat, I would set that as the 1st measure of the song. Then I would tab to the start of the 2nd measure and, using Identify Beat, I would set that as the 2nd measure of the song. I do this for the duration of the song and now the song is locked to the bars/beats grid. Once I get to this stage I should have no problems importing midi drum tracks.

What you've described makes complete sense. As mentioned above, when I do this my
session is sample based (
all tracks/lanes sample based).
What is generated each time you identify a beat (as seen in the
TEMPO TRACK ruler) should be a
new tempo event every (in the method you outlined) measure.
If you're creating your MIDI drum tracks within PT, you should be done,
assuming you've completed the tempo map before the drums. If in reverse order (drums first), you may need to quantize the MIDI tracks to the new tempo map.
If you're using an external sequencer to create the drum tracks, I'd suggest you
import the newly created PT Tempo Map into your sequencer and perform step 2 above in the sequence before you export your tracks in PT.
However you work, it appears to me that your
drift is caused by the MIDI not locked to your newly created PT Tempo Map.
Hope this helps.
