There are drums that come with pro tools, if you have a midi device such as
a key board or drum machine to control the sounds in the pro tools
instrument banks you will be good to go. In my case I use an oxygen USB
keyboard plugged into the mac, when I want to use it, I open a session, use
command, shift N to make a new track, then I choose the number of new
tracks, then choose for it to be either mono or stario then the type of
track, audio, master fader or instrument, I click instrument then boom, I
got instrument tracks ready to use. I then go to one of the tracks and on
the input source it will usually already have your midi/USB device and if
not, just pick it. Then you should arm that track so that you know for sure
that you will hear it out of your moniters. You then go to your incert
banks, choos incert A, go down to instrument as the type of incert, and for
drums you can use either "Boom" or go to the "Expand 2" library. Boom is
drums and drum grooves and expand 2 has a drum section as well as a drum
groove section. After that it is a matter of your tempo and quantising if
you need it. Don't forget that in order to toggle on and off your metradome
use the number 7 on the num pad.
Hope this can help to get you started

Subject: Making drum tracks when recording with a computer.
Hi,
Now since i'm about to begin the jorney of mastering or at least trying to
get the hang of Pro tools, i wonder about drum tracks. I'm used to old drum
machines like the Yamaha RX15 or the Roland TR-707 or the likes thereof, but
since such drum machines aren't around and maybe not even works propperly in
a computer recording environment what with Midi and all that, i wonder if
there's an accessible drum machine that comes with PT or what people use to
make their drum tracks, and if what you use are available for the Mac?
