Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

The book you may be referring to is The Drum Set Crash Course Yamaha 
DTXPress Edition, by Russ Miller.

The book is available from Russ Miller's website, 
http://www.russmiller.com and comes with a CD containing MIDI files and 
I believe some audio (I personally do not use the CD).

I don't think it's a great book for a beginning drummer -- it is a study 
of several musical styles and has some excellent stuff on them (yet is a 
overview, nothing goes into great depth, but that's not what the book 
was designed to do, so don't take it as a criticism), but it discusses 
nothing of drum technique, and assumes in several areas that you are 
somewhat knowledgeable in music already, although it does have a couple 
pages going over the basics of notation.  As a musician of 20 years but 
never playing any percussion except marimba, I found it a nice book to 
work from as I learned my way around the set.

Russ Miller personally signed the book before it was sent (probably 
because it was purchased from his website), a very nice touch =)  Note 
the book was released before with nearly identical content, no DTXpress 
specifics, and was simply called the Drum Set Crash Course.

I personally found it to be good reading.
