How do you demo session drums?

What it is?
I've activated session drums in demo mode but cannot figure out how to load it. Can anybody tell me how to load the demo?
Cheers,

Speaking of those Session Drum DVDs, has anyone received theirs yet?

yep, a couple of days ago.
I've been too busy with seasonal stuff to really try them out, but a few hours playing with the multi-mic kits gave me the conclusion that they are very good.
I found that a simple programmed beat with session drums sounds like there is a man playing a kit, rather than a selection of samples being triggered.
Hit the kick hard and the snare rattles a bit into the undersnare mic. That's the sort of stuff that makes a difference when you are trying to get a 'retro' drum sound.
I'll have to find myself some time to really experiment though.
Oh, the pad mapping is just insane though, just really really odd. Perhaps it maps up to GM, but it just looks like someone threw assignments up in the air and they landed wherever they wanted to.
