I don't know if this will help (or addresses what you are specifically asking), however I have done what I am about the mention multiple times.
If you are using protools (which you state that you are), put the unstrumetn mix on track 7 of the 8 track, put the click on track 8. Mix these together on a small mixer with a headphone out (mackie 1202 is what I use). Put the headphones on the drummer. Have him play to the track with the click and the instrument track in his cans. You can even let him play with the mix of the two (more click for my drummer). This will allow you to record 6 tracks of multitracked drums (which should be enough IMHO). Then dump the 6 tracks into protools (2 tracks at a time on m-box or all tracks on DIGI002 or 001 - minus the instrument track). Finally, line up the click waveform from the multitrack to teh click waveform of your original click in protools, and walaaaa (sp?). The drums will be in time to your original recording.
One caveat is using the 2 track at a time approch is that if the motor in the 8 track does not run very, very closely within specs...... well, you will become very familiar with the Time Compression/Expansion Audiosuite plugin. I have done this before with a clients sh*tty tascam four track machine and nearly drove myself crazy!!!
I hope this helps and if it does not directly answer your question, hopefully it will help someone else.
Regards and good luck,
Ja
