Tutorial books for the "beat masters" the guy who sits (usually) towards the back of the band but is SO important to keeping the rhythm for the whole band (unless you drum for some free form bands I have heard where NONE of the musicians seemed to care what the others were playing! - extremely experimental)
A drummer gives the band a heartbeat and these books might be of use to both beginners and experienced drummers who want to expand their techniques.
