I don't know of a tutorial but a few tips:

When choosing to create a percussion track, you'll see a list of numbers standing for each individual percussion sound in Guitar Pro's library. 46 is Hi-hat , 38 is kick drum one for example. Now, what you do is to put those numbers in the track field, and tweak the tempo changes etc the way you want them. A great tip is to make seperate tracks for the toms, snare, kicks and cymbals etc because if you interlace them into one track, a change in the snares tempo for example will affect the rest of the track, it will move the other hits from it's previous location to a new, depending on what your change is.
