Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Leon,

The Drum Set Crash Course is a drum set instructional book that is 
authored by Russ Miller and distributed by Warner Bros. It comes in 
two versions, one for the usual drummer and it comes with an audio CD 
with exercise examples, and the second is designed specifically for 
the DTXpress user and it it comes with midi files that you load on 
your computer and then play through your DTXpress.

Hope that helps!

Cary
