Is there a way to do this in Pro Tools?

You can do it with Elastic Audio, but you'll lose some quality even with XFORM. I've done it plenty of times though. I wouldn't use it on drums - elastic audio kills the attack. What I do is to split up the entire drum track using Beat Detective, make the tempo change (with all tracks set to Tick base) and then apply crossfades. Best if you listen to the entire track carefully afterwards to make sure everything sounds ok - sometimes you may need to adjust some of the edits and crossfades.

Typically yes it's better to apply it to the individual tracks, though it takes longer when applying XFORM. Make sure you keep a backup of the original song.
