Hello from the UK, Dallas88,
I was having the same problem as you today with my iPhone 4S which doesn't sync completely with my iTunes Library like my iPod does. Looking for a solution, I saw your post so I don't know if you have solved your problem. I stumbled on a solution which worked for me by turning off iTunes Match, by going to "Store" in your iTunes Toolbar at the top left of your screen and turning off iTunes Match from there. You should then be able to 'drag and drop' as normal.
I've been getting round the problem in the past because I have the classic iPod (not the iPod Touch) which syncs fine with my iTunes Library whether iTunes Match is on or off. But I had to download a third party app called "iRip" which stores any music you want it to and allows you to transfer songs between devices. You do pay a one-off fee for the download from the internet, but it helped me sync songs between my Apple devices so I think it's worth it.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
I should also add that you should make sure iTunes Match is turned off on your phone via "Settings".
