Well, I wouldn't call that a drum intro. The band starts before the drummer.

In 2024, I would go to Bar Settings on the Tools bar, and mute the drums for the first bar. In the measure where you want the drums to come in, go to Bar Settings for that measure and choose "Back To Normal". Make sure that the next measure has a part marker, which would change the section(A, B, etc.). Even if you choose the same section, BIAB should put a drum fill to bring in the beginning of the new section.
